like everyone around, he claimed to see
and 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 and 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 and that's all he'd ever be
just a fool, that's all he'd ever be
and there's nothing beautiful in me
we were shaken from the branch, fallen from the tree
and we were 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 that looked just like you and me
but he was just a fool and that's all he'd ever be
just a fool, that's all he'd ever be
and there's nothing beautiful in me
still everyone around knows he's the fool
he was just a fool and that's all he'd ever be
just a fool, that's all he'd ever be still
there's nothing beautiful in me
