He tucks his little girl in at night, Avoiding any questions she may ask
He pretends to still love his wife. He's found adventure, living a double life
It's perfect only in his eyes. He's living in a fool's paradise
A fool's paradise, such a heavenly life. In an apartment, way across town
A painted lady waits for him to come down. She makes him feel young, having lots of fun
He tells the family his job has him on the run. Wrestling with the angel and devil inside
He's living in a fool's paradise. There'll be hell to pay when those two worlds collide
There'll be nothing he can do, but live the life he's made. In a fool's paradise
Now his home's a cheap hotel. No one answers when he calls. The family moves on without him
He doesn't get it at all. A fool's paradise, such a heavenly life. There's hell to pay
There's nothing left to say, but live his life. In a fool's paradise
A fool's paradise, such a heavenly life. A fool's paradise, such a heavenly life
A fool's paradise
A fool's paradise
