Lyrics April's Fool - Cotton Mather

April's Fool

I was reading her a passage
From the Kama Sutra
Through a magnifying glass
I was asking her a question
About male oppression
When she says to me «I thought you’d never ask»
Now it is raining and I’m walking home
I’m saying to myself «I told you so»
There are some places even a brave man can’t go
At least without a coat
April is the cruelest month
But she shouldn’t have to be this cruel
April has betrayed my trust
Would you look at what I’ve turned into
April’s fool
April is the kind of girl you
Like to tell your secrets to
She turns around and laughs
I became suspicious
When I read them in the papers
I said «This affair will never last»
Some guy in uniform says «I don’t know you»
I said «I don’t know you, but how do you do?»
He said «Everyone here’s heard what you’ve put her through»
«Men, off with his head»
April is the cruelest month
But she shouldn’t have to be this cruel
April has betrayed my trust
Would you look at what I’ve turned into
April’s fool
Every year, I’m the spring’s worst example
Flower’s grow sometimes just to get trampled
April, I was kidding
When I told you I was human
I’m a barely mortal man
I won’t mistakes next time
I’ll read you Kama Sutra
I’ve got Vishnu in my hands
Just as I say it the Vishnu appears
He’s off with my girl and I’m left with my tears
There’s practically no sense in lingering here
But I don’t know how to leave
April is the cruelest month
But she shouldn’t have to be this cruel
April has betrayed my trust
Would you look at what I’ve turned into
April’s fool
April’s fool
April’s fool
