[Verse 1]
When I was young, I had everything, I abused it
Everything I ever touched, I used it
Backwards, forwards, turned upside-down, I needed it
It holds me up when I'm down on the floor

[Chorus]
But it's a fool's life, it's a fool's life
You would think I would learn by now
Oh, it's a fool's life, it's a fool's life
And I just gotta turn around
Oh, it's a fool's life, it's a fool's life

[Verse 2]
In and out of the hospital, creeping into jail
Rattlesnake sneakers run me to hell
Last exit to nirvana, ten miles down the road
It's not so far when you set an alarm

[Chorus]
It's a fool's life, it's a fool's life
You would think I would learn by now
Oh, it's a fool's life, it's a fool's life
And I just gotta turn around
Oh, it's a fool's life, it's a fool's life
[Refrain]
Dance with the ghost with the weeping eyes
La-shoo-la, la-shoo-la, la-shoo-la, la-shoo-la
Dance with the ghost with the weeping eyes
La-shoo-la, la-shoo-la, la-shoo-la, la-shoo-la
Dance with the ghost with the weeping eyes
La-shoo-la, la-shoo-la, la-shoo-la, la-shoo-la

[Refrain]
Dance with the ghost with the weeping eyes
La-shoo-la, la-shoo-la, la-shoo-la, la-shoo-la
Dance with the ghost with the weeping eyes
La-shoo-la, la-shoo-la, la-shoo-la

[Chorus]
It's a fool's life, it's a fool's life
You would think I would learn by now
Oh, it's a fool's life, it's a fool's life
And I just gotta turn around
Oh, it's a fool's life, it's a fool's life
You would think I would learn by now
Oh, it's a fool's life, it's a fool's life
And I just gotta turn it around
Oh, it's a fool's life

[Outro]
Oh, oh, oh
It's a fool's life, it's a fool's life (Dance with the ghost with the weeping eyes)
And I just gotta turn it around
Oh, it's a fool's life, it's a fool's life (Dance with the ghost with the weeping eyes)
Oh
