Towering Fool [Live]
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?
