Fool's Paradise - 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 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
