Fool's Paradise

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
