Boingo Oingo Fool`s Paradise Lyrics

Fool`s Paradise Lyrics

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 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 . . . (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 reach, so hard to hold)

My life's an open letter

     Tear it up--and throw it away
