Lyrics

Alive in an ocean  
A world that I didn't see  
I walk the world back ways  
It's aways the same ballgame  
  
That's out of mind  
Out of the living world  
Out of time  
I break all the rules  
  
They call me a fool  
I cartoon in motion  
A hero pretends no pain  
A clown slipping backwards  
  
You laugh at another's shame  
But I don't mind  
I know I'm limping low down  
I don't mind  
  
Winners or losers  
It's all just a game  
And I'm going down  
And I'm strolling down  
  
Life and an answer  
The key to an open door  
Admitting I'm laughing  
Living I'm limping more  
  
It's out of mind  
Out of the living world  
Out of time  
Winners or losers  
  
It's always a game  
And I'm going down  
But I'm strolling down  
To rout around  
  
And around, and around  
To round round  
There's a cloud  
There's a cloud  
  
So the fool has found the golden key  
So it's waiting there for you and me  
Just a fool, a street jester  
The hero of society  
  
Just a fool, a street jester  
Look at me, now can't you see  
A life in emotion  
A world I'm glad I didn't see  
  
A cartoon in motion  
A key to the same day  
I don't mind, I'm here to know  
I want to go go go go go  
  
So the fool has found the golden key  
It's so it's waiting there for you and me  
Just a fool, a street jester  
The hero of society  
  
Just a fool, a street jester  
Look at me, now can't you see
