Laugh, Pitiful Fool, Laugh

Do I have to scold you and remind
you that time is too precious 
to be wasted on silly games?
Laugh pitiful, fool, laugh...
not a single line of any attempted 
conquest can change this awareness!

Do I ever get annoyed and top my ears
not listening, just pitting your silliness,
but being the center of attention...
you find it hard to be let down!

Laugh, pitiful fool, laugh...nothing
can change your perspective on life
and the insincerity you hide;
laugh, pitiful fool, laugh...everything
has consequences and losses,
and this chance you toss for pride!
 
Scorpio and Aquarius aren't a match,
there are no beautiful stars to catch;
one extremely quiet, the other too wild...
one very warm, the other completely cold!

Laugh, pitiful fool, laugh...nobody
can do evil and not be punished;
laugh, pitiful fool, laugh...everybody
is aware of your craft to be deceived
and not be loved with sincerity!

Never smile and hold hands or run wild,
never listen to the pelting rhythm of the rain,
never hear the loud cry of the howling wind;
isn't it better to be on a getaway train?
