it is the same act over and over
and i play the fool
a fiddle and a dress
i dance and dance
serving bread and wine
invisible to the eye
a fool by trait
lost by war;
and i play the fool
not the prince or a knight
we enter first and leave last
steadfast punchline
and laughs that shake the family line
blood never pours from my belly
just from my eyes
watching everything go up in flames
faster then i can pour the wine
and even though i play the fool
i can be brave at times
without a penny to my name
i found love
if money buys you love
then love is not enough
