Fool’s Paradise Songtext
von Oingo Boingo

On the 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


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 in 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
And throw it away
