Someone coming up the way Hey, he is a worldly man When I tell him my plans he says What are you doing? You're simply playing It's not worth pursuing, I know the way out [Chorus: instruments drop out, complex vocal harmonies, counterpoint and polyphony, piano only] All the ways of a fool (All the ways) They are right in his own eyes (his own eyes) Go on back, keep your cool (la la la) Don't you miss the city lights (ooo la la la) And those worldly delights (Trust Me), I know I'm right [Verse 2] Reason is the rule Logic is a mighty fortress And life is nothing more Deception is the truth Why not make it what you want? I'm a successful man My offer is easy Picture reality, give up morality Legality, second to none [Chorus: instruments drop out, complex vocal harmonies, counterpoint and polyphony, piano only, beach boys influenced] All the ways of a fool (All the ways) They are right in his own eyes (his own eyes) Go on back, keep your cool (ooo la la la) Don't you miss the city lights (ooo la la la) And those worldly delights (Trust Me), I know I'm right All the ways of a fool (All the ways) They are right in his own eyes (his own eyes) Go on back, keep your cool (la la la) Don't you miss the city lights (ooo la la la) And those worldly delights (Trust Me), I know I'm right [Chorus: Key Change] All the ways of a fool (All the way) They are right in his own eyes (his own eyes) Go on back, keep your cool (la la la) Don't you miss the city lights (ooo la la la) And those worldly delights (Trust Me), I know I'm right
