| 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 thought it was late at night
|
| Saw her once; |
| there’s no mistake
|
| 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
|
| 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
|
| 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
|
| 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
|
| 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 |
