I sat thinking of how
I'd kept so well my love of people
from myself never wondered why, and I
stood up and watching all my friends move out
to win the war within themselves
holding onto lose, they choose
to stay and play a part
to play and stay apart
to stay and play, play and stay apart
I leaned out listening close to hear the rain
that seemed to fall from someone else
cause all they had to give, to live
and I saw it wasn't easy
but much easier and always hard to tell
what one needs to be is free
to play and stay apart
or stay and play a part
to play and stay or stay and play a part
You were lying somewhere in the fog
you knew would always treat you well
it made you hard to see, oh me
I took my chances like you take a rest
or like the joker takes himself
one must be a fool, for some
one must be a fool, for some
one must be a fool, for some
one must be a fool, for some
one must be a fool, for some
