the fool

Lyrics

[Intro] Here I am, my life is rich And I have less to show for it Here I am, here I go again Bought another impulse ticket [Verse 1] Droolin' on the airplane tray table Hear, "Ma'am, something to drink?" I say, "Yeah, I want a retirement" She says, "We're out of that, I think" I says, "Well, how's about a date?" She says, "Sorry ma'am, but I'm very straight" I say, "Yeah, okay I'll take a water, I sure am thirsty, thanks" [Bridge] We landed with a boom I'm the first clown to colonize the moon [Verse 2] The moon is full But I feel empty Give me a piece of Eden I want to be a solitary genius A solitary genius [Bridge] I left a note It said, "Please, won't you write this on my gravestone?" I abandoned ship, I'm so tired of livin' Wish I could stay, wish I had a reason [Verse 4] Sleepin' in a concrete box My neighbor says he's done with relationships I say, "Hey, that's no way to be" Hey says, "Well, we're both out here, aren't we?" I says, "Hmm, guess you got a point Come on, Gaelin, pass ol' Joy the joint But if we are as hopeless as you think Why are you out here relatin' with me?" [Bridge] It landed with a boom I'm the first clown to flip a frown upon the moon The moon is— Hold on Here comes telepathy from Kenny Here is the message they are sending: [Verse 5] Why are you leaving? What are you needing? What is the meaning if not love? And while you are drifting Through the void Know we are sending you love [Bridge] Kenny, you're so sweet You and the birds all flyin' in a V I wish I could keep the beat But a sailor's life is a life for me I'm lost in the city, I'm a butterfly I'm a lone wolf, baby I don't have needs, I don't have friends I can't pay rent I don't have kin, I am an island I am an I, I, I, I I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I I am a fool [Verse 6] The moon is full And I am too Bring me home I don't want to be a solitary genius A solitary genius [Outro] Here I am, I'm home again In the arms of my friends Here I am, in my body Where I always wanted to be
