Lyrics

The butterfly does it overhead, and the dog bites at my leg,
I'm steppin' right off the edge, can you take on the Fool?
Trancin' round through fields of joy, I change from girl to boy,
Can you deliver fun from cruel, could you laugh at truth with a Fool?

I got no name and I got no race and
I got no mind to tie down with you,
I give you all my psychic flowers but
You can't have me, no, I am the Fool.

You trust so slowly to refuse, sweet fool what's to lose?
You could begin at the end if you choose, the mad hold hands with a  fool.
Sunlight fills the everywhere as we step across the air,
Could you wear the world as your jewel, 
Could you shine it on as a fool?

You want teasin' and you want freedom and
You want pleasin' to be taught in school,
You need playthings and everyday things but
You can't have me, no I am the Fool.

You want teasin' and you want freedom and
You want pleasin' to be taught in school,
You need playthings and everyday things but
You can't have me, no you are a fool.
