Fool's Avenue

Roses lost in the battle of beauty Soldiers lost in their tour of duty Rivers running dry in the spring Waterfalls crash and collide like love Tenderness flies like a peaceful dove And the broken freedom bell will not ring Your disillusion shatters the windows of your charade You were walking proud and tall, laughing at the Losers' parade But it was you, who didn't know what to do When you found yourself on Fool's Avenue Insidious invitations lurk at dawn And what once stood with pride now is gone Out tripping on the stones of the road Empty-handed you search for truth While you stand there trying not to seem aloof Down a path so many outlaws rode Your disillusion shatters the windows of your charade You were walking proud and tall, laughing at the Losers' parade But it was you, who didn't know what to do When you were sentenced to life on Fool's Avenue Where does your uneasy mind roam Does it stray from your cold and empty home And did the fortune teller steal your heart Intrepid isolation has got the best of you While you curse and you yearn for the one that left you blue Tell me, were you lost in her crystal ball from the start Your disillusion shatters the windows of your charade You were walking proud and tall, laughing at the Losers' parade But it was you, who didn't know what to do When you found yourself on Fool's Avenue You're always second guessing yourself You're always second guessing everyone else Your faith is lost in the brine Feeling empty with nothing to say While your ghosts of your past creep along this dusty bay While you're drowning in a sea of time Your disillusion shatters the windows of your charade You were walking proud and tall, laughing at the Losers' parade But it was you, who didn't know what to do When you were sentenced to life on Fool's Avenue
