Gov`t Mule Towering Fool Lyrics

Towering Fool Lyrics

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
