Ellis Paul - Poet Fool lyrics

Poet marches on in the naked kings parade Nobody cares when he kicks up a stone His heads hanging down from the weight of the charade No answers in the dirt, just dead old weary bones [Chorus] You run, run, run like a mad man on a potion You come, come down like a bird Poet sings aloft on a stump of stone Heavy words, heavy songs, he heaves them out to the throng But they float like clouds across the backs of thesespoken And he weeps like a child when they cheer an honest boys song [Repeat Chorus] Poet, poet fool You should be king The obliging rings from your stool The one great voice of the kingdom But no, no, no one listens to Poet fool [Repeat Chorus]
