[Verse 1]
He was looking for a new life (Ha, ha, ha, ha)
In Tokyo
A replacement for his drab wife (Yeah, yeah, yeah)
She's in Tokyo
[Verse 2]
He wished to move ever quickly
Before his good will got in the way
He promised life before the sickly
Before his sinning feel got in the way
[Hook]
Now he’s running off
Running off, running off
All the weight behind him
[Verse 3]
Dreaming, dreaming of a bare coffin
Yeah he needed to know
Gravestone reading his life took off without him
Where would this fantasy go
[Hook]
Now he’s running off
Running off, running off
All the weight behind him
Yeah, he’s running off, running off
Running off
[Chorus]
Fooling the Madonna
Chasing after youthful skin
Watching your own age drip
Softening your trying limbs
Never did you give it
Permission to drop off
Fooling the Madonna
No fool will stay on top
(On top, on top, on top, on top, on top)
[Verse 4]
Let's face the facts baby
No one wants to cheat or steal
I do not love you now
And I won't tomorrow and I never will
[Hook]
So he's running off
Running off, running off
All the weight behind him
Yeah he's running off, running off
Running off
[Chorus]
Fooling the Madonna
Chasing after youthful skin
Watching your own age drip
Softening your trying limbs
Never did you give it
Permission to drop off
Fooling the Madonna
No fool will stay on top
Fooling the Madonna
Chasing after youthful skin
Watching your own age drip
Softening your trying limbs
Never did you give it
Permission to drop off
Fooling the Madonna
No fool will stay on top
(On top, on top, on top, on top, on top)
