Lyrics

[Verse 1]
Come, be my April Fool
Come, you're the only one
Come, on your rusted bike
Come, we'll break all the rules
[Verse 2]
We'll ride like riders ride
Neither rich, nor broke
We'll race through alleyways
In our tattered cloaks so
[Verse 3]
Come, be my April Fool
Come, we'll break all the rules
[Verse 4]
We'll burn all of our poems, add to God's debris
We'll pray to all of our saints, icons of mystery
We'll tramp through the mire, when our souls feel dead
With laughter we'll inspire, then back to life again
[Verse 5]
Come, be my April Fool
Come, you're the only one
[Verse 6]
Be my April fool
You're the only one
Come, come
Be my April fool
Come, come
We'll break all the rules
Written by: Patti Smith, Tony Shanahan
