Oingo Boingo - Fool's Paradise lyrics

rate me

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 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 stopdon'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 . . . (etc.)

Two heads / are better than one . . .

Two hearts / bleed so much more

Serious / but no one laughing

Why run / when you can crawl

(true love around the corner--out of reachso hard to hold)

My life's an open letter

Tear it up--and throw it away
