Fool's Paradise Lyrics - Oingo Boingo

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 though 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 [unverified] 

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
