"The Fool" 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
