Fool's Paradise

[Verse 1] On a quest for the Holy Grail Try and live on razor's edge Find a mountain, or cross a valley Why bother? It's all for sale True love was in her eyes Burning truth was on her face Even though it was late at night Saw her once, there's no mistake [Chorus 1] Now that we've found this precious place How do we keep from going crazy now? My life was leading to this day Watching the whole thing slip away It's just a fool's paradise It's just a fool's paradise It's just a fool's paradise, anyhow [Verse 1] Dirty stains on brand new linen Fresh tracks on virgin snow Caught a saint while he was sinning People scream, what do they know? Turn it off and find religion Tune it out and find a cause Get it up and tell the world Don't stop, don't ever pause [Chorus 2] Here is this place from all our dreams It doesn't seem to make us better now If it will get us through the night With all our conscience still intact It's just a fool's paradise It's just a fool's paradise It's just a fool's paradise, anyhow [Chorus 3] My life was leading to this day Watching the whole thing slip away It's just a fool's paradise It's just a fool's paradise It's just a fool's paradise, anyhow It's just a fool's paradise It's just a fool's paradise It's just a fool's paradise, anyhow [Outro] Two heads are better than one Two hearts bleed so much more Serious—but no one's laughing Why run when you can crawl? True love around the corner Out of reach, so hard to hold My life's an open letter Tear it up, throw it away!
