Lyrics:
The fool jumps on in
He goes in blind
They say he’s a mad man,
That he’s lost his mind
The fool wonders when
They’ll open their eyes
And see he’s a genius
In a foolish disguise
He tiptoes along
The edge of the world
Singing and dancing
And taunting the earth
He draws in his foes
They question his worth
Caught up by the trickster
They don’t see the sword
Risk taker, oath breaker
Who would trust a fool?
Reckless and senseless
They’ll never see the truth
The fool jumps on in
He goes in blind
They say he’s a mad man,
That he’s lost his mind
The fool wonders when
They’ll open their eyes
And see he’s a genius
In a foolish disguise
He gets in close
You drop down your guard
Laughing and smiling he’s
Never too far
Because what’s a fool
To a powerful god?
They’ll never see him coming
‘Til he’s in right in their path
Troublemaker, shift shaper
What defines a fool?
Underestimated
Is such a perfect tool
The fool jumps on in
He goes in blind
They say he’s a mad man,
That he’s lost his mind
The fool wonders when
They’ll open their eyes
And see he’s a genius
In a foolish disguise
Toss a coin,
Genius and madness
One of the same
What a choice
The flint or the steel
Who is to blame?
A mask or two
A brand-new day
With a different face
“Praise The Fool”
Is what they chant
Whisper his name
The fool jumps on in
He goes in blind
They say he’s a mad man,
That he’s lost his mind
The fool wonders when
They’ll open their eyes
And see he’s a genius
In a foolish disguise
