Letra de Fountain Of Fools

I was raised on true compassion Gingerbread ‘n’ a poor excuse Badly drawn to every drop-out Tossin’ coins in the fountain of fools I started out with empty pockets I bought the rumours ‘n’ sold the news I built me up a reputation For tossin’ coins in the fountain of fools I saw the last of marie last winter She seemed deprived from the gift to loose A touch of finance ‘n’ a drop of pitty For tossin’ coins in the fountain of fools Well, I spent my life. I lost a fortune Chasin’ rainbows for all she knew But I’m just a creature of narrow habits Tossin’ coins in the fountain of fools I got a boy safe with marie now I hear he’s doing allright in school Makes me proud he’s got a daddy Who’s tossin’ coins in the fountain of fools Some fine day I’m gonna teach my boy ‘Bout gingerbread ‘n’ a poor excuse How to be careful what to wish for When tossin’ coins in the fountain of fools
