One moment of madness
A little loss of control
And down
Slides the barometer
Of right and wrong
Mercury swirling throughout
And casting sharp shadows on logic
That seems reasonable at the
Time

A moment of madness,
Divine in its freedom,
Ends

This is a bit similar to what I imagine being drunk must be like. Or any king of loss of control.
