Fools Paradise — текст песни (Oingo Boingo)

On the quest / for the holy grail

Try and live / on razors edge

Find a mountain / or cross a valley

Why bother? / its 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 theres no mistake



Now that weve 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

Its just a fools paradise

Its just a fools paradise

Its just a fools 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

Dont stop, dont ever pause



Here in this place from all our dreams

It doesnt seem to make us better now

If it will get us through the night

With all our conscience still intact

Its just a fools 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 lifes an open letter

Tear it up--and throw it away
