The Fool
by Dave Smith
Copyright 2002

All my pick-up lines are tied-up in knots
the jukebox is playin' forget-me-nots
nothin' here moves me, you still stand in my way
it's gettin' harder and harder to get through the day

You promised me heaven, I'd settle for hell
how many others have fallen under your spell
the word around town is I was one of a crowd
whose hearts have been shattered whose souls cry out loud

Bridge:
The traits of a fool, yeah I've got 'em all
they all seem to surface at your beck & call
so I guess I'll go crawlin' back into the night
go runnin' with the shadows away from the light

You'd think by now I would've called it quits
moved on with my life but here I sit
like the fool-of-all-fools who hasn't a clue
about what I want or what next I should do

I know in the end I'll sing a sad song
but like a lovesick puppy I'll tag along
I know where we're goin', it's called Nowhere
it's miles from reality, this Fool lives there
