Like everyone around, he claimed to see He was beautiful, but not like me He saw everything, everyone all around me Still he stood up really tall, and he looked down below He saw many people, many things he'd never seen before But he was just a fool, that's all he'd ever be Just a fool, that's all he'd ever be There were two of us and two of them and two of you and two of me Up inside that tree And we were trying hard, trying hard to see But he was just a fool, that's all he'd ever be Just a fool, that's all he'd ever be Still there's nothing beautiful in me We were shaken from the branch, fallen from the tree And we're not quite sure just what we had seen So we climbed up really high, and we tried hard to see And there's many people, many things looked just like you and me And he was just a fool, that's all he'd ever be Just a fool, that's all he'd ever be And there's nothing beautiful in me And everyone around knows he's the fool He was just a fool, that's all he'd ever be Just a fool, that's all he'd ever be Still there's nothing beautiful in me
