G F C F
Take your banners away from my eyes, Take away your dogma and take away your lies

Don’t call me a fool (youre a fool), such a fool
Verse 4
Flashing back, There were better times at last, it seems
I’m liaising with my dreams Closer to The one I am
The floating, the floating litlle man Flashing back
Chorus
Don’t call me a fool, don’t call (you’re a fool), don’t call me a fool (you’re a fool)
call me a fool (you’re a fool) Take her away (you’re a fool) your prayer books and your strain
The things you did again and again When I was so young
Verse 5
But now I know I prefer to flash back Sleeping on the way I do Maybe that’s the only truth
Flashing back with you (you’re a dreamer, you’re a fool, you’re a fool, you’re a fool)
