Yeah, somebody somewhere must have hurt you
|
You must have been really abused
|
A victim of your raising
|
Isn't that your excuse
|
Towering Fool
|
|
In a dream I watched you inflict yourself
|
On everyone within reach
|
Now frozen in time I see it still
|
Like a movie
|
How long has it been since you shook the hand
|
Of those who fell under your feet
|
And how long has it been since you washed yours clean
|
From the blood and the dirt of the street
|
Did you really think you could just fly away
|
Fly right out of those blues
|
Did you towering fool
|
|
Don't you know greatness comes to those who can hold it
|
Did it slip right through your hands
|
Did it brush your sleeve as it passed you by
|
Do you compare yourself now to then
|
|
All this pent up anger
|
Don't you feel alone ranger
|
Don't you towering fool
|
|
So you use every ounce of your energy
|
To keep those around you down
|
But there is a tear in the eye of the ring master
|
And a smile on the face of the clown
|
Yeah, you couldn't see through your own arrogance
|
To what the whole world already knew
|
You had to keep pushing it past the point
|
Till it all crumbled down on you
|
Didn't you towering fool
|
