Alive in an ocean
A world that I didn't see
I walk the world backways
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
Admiting I'm laughing
Living I'm limping more

[ Lyrics from: http://www.lyricsfreak.com/u/u2/the+fool_20141605.html ]
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 wanna 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
