Fools Paradise

He tucks his little girl in at night, Avoiding any questions she may ask

He pretends to still love his wife. He's found adventure, living a double life

It's perfect only in his eyes. He's living in a fool's paradise

A fool's paradise, such a heavenly life. In an apartment, way across town

A painted lady waits for him to come down. She makes him feel young, having lots of fun

He tells the family his job has him on the run. Wrestling with the angel and devil inside

He's living in a fool's paradise. There'll be hell to pay when those two worlds collide

There'll be nothing he can do, but live the life he's made. In a fool's paradise

Now his home's a cheap hotel. No one answers when he calls. The family moves on without him

He doesn't get it at all. A fool's paradise, such a heavenly life. There's hell to pay
