Fooled myself

 I've fooled myself again

Schooled myself I'm vain

In the mirror of my mind's eye

I've seen me live and seen me die

On stage but always I must try

But I try and try in vain


All these tears fall down my pane

Like the years that fall like rain

As the leaves fall from the tree

I've fooled myself again


I'm Peter Pan, I'm Peter Pain

The love I've lost I can't regain

But in her ghost I see in vain

I've fooled myself again


We synthesize our souls don't we

The plastic you the plastic me

The Moon I see is made of cheese

I've fooled myself again


So show me something real in me

I want to know what it means

Am I just an actor in a scene?

I've fooled myself again
