A Fool's Work for No Return Lyrics

I don't need people to swoon over it

Just ideas they could discuss

Maybe something clear like crystal

Big return for little fuss

Could be not as clear as crystal, but then

Not as dark as space

Riddles solved quite easily

As it all falls into place

Hoping someone feels the joy of discovery

Do you want them all so separate from you

I could just spread some mystique over it

Smoke, mirrors, sly and coy

And give out bogus reasons

For the rhymes that I employ

A budding genius of obfuscation

We're all-in on the joke

Cut open on this altar

Come and give that pig a poke

I'm hoping someone feels the joy of discovery

Do you want them all so separate from you

It's a fool that works for nothing

A fool's work for no return

It's a fool that works for nothing

Fool's work for no return

'Bout the time I think I'm done, over it

Poor man's burdens bear no coin

I remember why I do it

Where the different pieces join

I want them all to feel the joy of discovery

Do you want them all to be separate from you

It's a fool that works for nothing

A fool's work for no return

It's a fool that works for nothing

A fool's work for no return

Uh-huh, uh-huh, uh-huh, uh-huh

A fool's work for no return

Uh-huh, uh-huh, uh-huh, uh-huh

A fool's work for no return

La la la la la la la la

La la la la la la la

La la la la la la la la

La la la la la la la
