Yeah somebody somewhere must've hurt you
Must've been really abused
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?
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't hold it?
Did it slip right through your hands?
Did it brush your sleeve as it passed you by
As you compare yourself now to then?
All this pent up anger
Don't you feel alone ranger?
Don't you towering fool?
So you used every ounce of your energy
To keep those around you down
There's a tear in the eye of the ringmaster
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
Until it all crumbled down on you
Yeah didnt you towering fool?
