When I was young, I had everything, I abused it Everything I ever touched, I used it Backwards, forwards, turned upside-down, I needed it It holds me up when I'm down on the floor But it's a fool's life, it's a fool's life You would think I would learn by now Oh, it's a fool's life, it's a fool's life And I just gotta turn around Oh, it's a fool's life, it's a fool's life In and out of the hospital, creeping into jail Rattlesnake sneakers run me to hell Last exit to nirvana, ten miles down the road It's not so far when you set an alarm It's a fool's life, it's a fool's life You would think I would learn by now Oh, it's a fool's life, it's a fool's life And I just gotta turn around Oh, it's a fool's life, it's a fool's life Dance with the ghost with the weeping eyes La-shoo-la, la-shoo-la, la-shoo-la, la-shoo-la Dance with the ghost with the weeping eyes La-shoo-la, la-shoo-la, la-shoo-la, la-shoo-la Dance with the ghost with the weeping eyes La-shoo-la, la-shoo-la, la-shoo-la, la-shoo-la Dance with the ghost with the weeping eyes La-shoo-la, la-shoo-la, la-shoo-la, la-shoo-la Dance with the ghost with the weeping eyes La-shoo-la, la-shoo-la, la-shoo-la It's a fool's life, it's a fool's life You would think I would learn by now Oh, it's a fool's life, it's a fool's life And I just gotta turn around Oh, it's a fool's life, it's a fool's life You would think I would learn by now Oh, it's a fool's life, it's a fool's life And I just gotta turn it around Oh, it's a fool's life Oh, oh, oh It's a fool's life, it's a fool's life (Dance with the ghost with the weeping eyes) And I just gotta turn it around Oh, it's a fool's life, it's a fool's life (Dance with the ghost with the weeping eyes) Oh
