Oingo Boingo - Fool's Paradise Lyrics
On the quest / for the holy grailTry and live / on razors edgeFind a mountain / or cross a valleyWhy bother? / its all for saleTrue love was in her eyesBurning truth was on her faceEven thought it was late at nightSaw her once theres no mistakeNow that weve found this precious place . . . .How do we keep from going crazy now?My life was leading to this dayWatching the whole thing slip awayIts just a fools paradiseIts just a fools paradiseIts just a fools paradise anyhowDirty stains / on brand new linenFresh tracks / on virgin snowCaught a saint / while he was sinningPeople scream / what do they knowTurn it off and find religionTune it out and find a causeGet it up and tell the worldDont stop, dont ever pauseHere in this place from all our dreamsIt doesnt seem to make us better nowIf it will get us through the nightWith all our conscience still intactIts just a fools paradise . . . (etc.)Two heads / are better than one . . .Two hearts / bleed so much moreSerious / but no one laughingWhy run / when you can crawl(true love around the corner--out of reach, so hard to hold)My lifes an open letterTear it up--and throw it away
