April Fool Lyrics

I was born an April fool
Full of gold to a brothel
And saved all my sins

I don't care if you and I are naked bare
And wrapped up in the sun
All I need is one one one one one one one one...

I don't know where I've been, what I've done
I am the once now irreplaceable son
I'm antichrist in your home
I'll come around this time to let you suck from my soul
And let me go

And I have time, those blinking lights
Controlled my sight and blinded me in spite
And I waited here for you

I don't care, the salvaged prayer
But a dent so big comes once a few years
And again I'm left to wait for you

And I don't know where I was going
I tried again to break you down for everyone to know it
Crying, let me go back to my failures
And come around this time to stop and finally let go
Let it go

Leaves are dead but I am here
Waiting on another good year
I hope we don't lose it all here

I tried once, I tried twice and I'm done
I am the once and irreplaceable son
I've got that rock and that roll
I've come around this time to set fire to your bones

I tried once, I tried twice, I am done
I am the once now and irreplaceable son
I've got that rock and that roll
I've come around this time to set fire to your homes
And let you go

I don't care so gouge my eyes
I'll spend the rest of my entire life blind
Consequence to you

And I don't care if you and I will take the rest of our entire lives
I'm patient here for you

Lyric Correction
Cover art for April Fool lyrics by Manchester Orchestra

I feel like the song describes the whole "Rock and Roll" lifestyle, the recklessness of drugs and alcohol, not caring what anybody thinks. Totally badass!!!

I don't know where I've been, what I've done I am the once now irreplaceable son I'm antichrist in your home I'll come around this time to suck from my soul And let me go
