portrait of a fool

paint two eyes

make them cry

paint two lips

make them lies

and you're painting

the portrait of a fool

paint one heart

that's been untrue

paint one soul

make it blue

and your paintin'

the portrait of a fool

there are somethings that look so familiar

strange what this resemblance can be

and now as i look in the mirror

i know

i know the fool you are painting is me

paint one fool

let it talk

paint two hand

that once held it all

and you've painted

a portrait of a fool
