[Intro]
One, two, three, four

[Verse 1]
You've been livin' life on a thin line
But it really gets you down
You can try but it just don't feel right
Oh, to light a candle for the underground

[Pre-Chorus]
It's not the same song you remember
You can try, but it's just plain wrong

[Chorus]
Fools, they lie to each other, ahh
Fools, they hide from their lovers, ahh

[Verse 2]
You've been havin' lots of late nights
But it really wears you down
Fans of hippie music
Oh, light a candle for the underground

[Pre-Chorus]
It's not the same song you remember
You can try, but it's just plain wrong
[Chorus]
Fools, they lie to each other, ahh
Fools, they hide from their lovers, ahh
Fools, they lie to each other, ahh
Fools, they hide from their lovers, ahh
