Somewhere in a market square
The cobblestone still shine
Glassy eyes behold the sight
Through another cup of wine...

The one eyed jester skips and turns
As he makes his way through the crowd
While the tavern's royalty
Try not to laugh aloud...

The jester does another spin
And then falls to the floor
A show of hands, a short "Hurrah!"
A plea for him to do more...

The ease of laughter comes so fast
When you're not in a jester's shoes

Cause when you've only Fools Gold
You've got nothing more to lose...

Who holds the riches
The jester or the king?
A fortress made from Fool's Gold
Or the tears that treasure can bring?

The king he sits upon his throne
The worlds weight on his chest
When your mind begins to race
You've got no time to rest

"Where is my clown?
I need him now
To take my troubles away..."

The harlequin rushes in
As his work begins for the day...
x2

While somewhere in a market square
The cobblestones still shine...
