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!
