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
