Towering Fool

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?
