time makes fools of us all - father john misty lyrics

Loading...

[verse 1]
our naked bodies go on trial
just for laughing at the joke
just for [?] bargain
what any salesgirl already knows
most of us old men die in the firing line
just waiting for our number to be called

[chorus]
i guess time just makes fools of us all
oh, i guess time just makes fools of us all

[verse 2]
the memphis king regales his stepson
when he’s loaded as a gun
says, “every man is like a country
you need a map to find your one”
now why do you suppose you must approach the throne
with its back up against the wall

[chorus]
i guess time just makes fools of us all
oh, lord, i guess time just makes fools of us all

[bridge]
my drink is watered down
my champion’s on his knees
he lost a rematch, he lost a comeback
he lost the charity
that’s the job
it’s what gets the -sses in the hall
watching time just make fools of us all

[harmonica solo]

[verse 3]
the groom is a liar
and the bride is a shill
the priest says, “if these two don’t make it
who among us ever will?
don’t ask the love you dare for a prediction
wherein the lovers of tomorrow are involved

[chorus]
i guess time just makes fools of us all
oh, lord, i guess time just makes fools of us all
i guess time just makes fools of us all
oh, i guess time just makes fools of us all
