Fool's Garden Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
You don't have to wear it, take it off.
Look up now, and don't pretend.
In the limelight you could take another bow,
Would anybody see you?
You can run around in circles. You could chain yourself,
Would anybody be there to release you?
Don't speak now, and don't turn around.
When the moon kisses town
And all the elfs are coming over,
No more lies and no disguise anymore.
Shame's just a word and nothing further.
Do not turn around,
When the moon kisses town.
Move along now, do not look behind,
There's nothing to forget, let it lie.
Move on now, and don't turn around.
When the moon kisses town
And all the elfs are coming over,
No more lies and no disguise anymore.
Shame's just a word and nothing further.
Do not turn around,
When the moon kisses town.
Look up now, there's no need to be ashamed,
You don't have to wear it, take it off.
Look up now, while the world calms down.
And the moon kisses town
And all the elfs are coming over,
No more lies and no disguise anymore, anymore anymore.
You can take away the cover,
You can take away the cover, now.
Look up now, look up now,
See the world calm down,
When the moon kisses town.
