April Fool Lyrics

Quitting after one more last one
Tired of playing the clown
If I want your opinion I'll ask ya
I can get myself down

Night driving without headlights
Wearing sunglasses too
Looking good but sure don't feel right
Anything to be cool

Doing hopscotch with my legs tied
Jumping rope in wet cement
Black leather in midday sunshine
All your mother's money's spent

Doing time on the metal detector
Like to drown in your pool
Covering up everything that's defective
Anything to be cool

A burning heart
Could be so cool
Won't you be my fashion victim?
Come on, I'm an April Fool for you

Holding on to what's left of real life
Anything to be cool
A burning heart
Like an April Fool
Won't you be my fashion victim?
Come on, I'm an April Fool

I'm a mid-spring snowfall, joke's on you
I'm an April Fool for you

I'm an April Fool for you
I'm an April Fool

How to Format Lyrics:

  • Use italics (<i>lyric</i>) and bold (<b>lyric</b>) to distinguish between different vocalists in the same song part
  • If you don’t understand a lyric, use [?]
