lyrics
Serpents of Eden caressed on my skin
In keeping score where nobody can win
The vagabond lover encased in ice
And selling souls at a discounted price
It takes a fool to trade diamonds for glass
Lustful abandon in Sodomic slums
Cardboard masterpieces signal what comes
Packaged and valued far below what's real
Obvious sun rays tell what's concealed
It takes a fool to trade gold for brass
Locked far away in a vault of contempt
What's on the horizon far from what's dreamt
And seeing the world as it's painted inside
Let's be on our way with the wind as our guide
It takes a fool to remain in the past
It takes a fool to remain in the past
In keeping score where nobody can win
The vagabond lover encased in ice
And selling souls at a discounted price
It takes a fool to trade diamonds for glass
Lustful abandon in Sodomic slums
Cardboard masterpieces signal what comes
Packaged and valued far below what's real
Obvious sun rays tell what's concealed
It takes a fool to trade gold for brass
Locked far away in a vault of contempt
What's on the horizon far from what's dreamt
And seeing the world as it's painted inside
Let's be on our way with the wind as our guide
It takes a fool to remain in the past
It takes a fool to remain in the past
