Foolish

It was only yesterday
The silence broke
Of everything in every way
The silence spoke
'T was on a night like this one
I heard it say
Just about any kind of anything
To make me stay
Oh foolish
Harmless
Foolish, harmless child
The body is timeless
You can't climb this
Stare after golden sky with stare
There is never any remedy
For what we've got
Just memories of memories
Too soon forgot
With every kind of XTC
Is what you get
Every rose upon a thorn we see
We soon regret
Oh foolish
Harmless
Foolish, harmless child
The body is timeless
You can't climb this
Stare after golden sky with stare
Oh foolish
Harmless
Foolish, harmless child
The body is timeless
You can't climb this
Stare after golden sky with stare
I'm in love and it's childsplay baby
Found a door to another world
And if you don't wanna make it make sense
Any a fool will take you there
And if you don't wanna make it make sense
And if you don't wanna make it make sense
Oh foolish
Harmless
Foolish, harmless child
The body is timeless
You can't climb this
Stare after golden sky with stare
