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
