fool out of me

Lyrics

hey - just when you think you are the shit, well, you look down and your fly is unzipped, that's when you take a moment to say, "well, sometimes i'm so totally unhip.", just when the great ones inspire you, to throw caution to the wind, that's when the mirror mirror on the wall says, "babe, you better throw your towel in.", all that i don't know, paralyzes me, but somehow i keep going on, just settling for this mediocrity, and i wonder if god is trying to make a fool out of me, there are legends who die, and i've never even heard their songs, and there are heroes of a generation, whose poetry is not on my shelf, and my soliloquies would make shakespeare, turn over in his grave, and voyagers would forbid me, to join in their crusade, i wish i could fight against ali and win, i wish i could write with joni mitchell's pen, sail the atlantic on a paddle boat, i wish i could smile like bobby de niro, i wish that the lotto was the number of my telephone, i wish i could sing a duet with bono, 'cause i don't want to sound like, anyone else, you know, i just wanna take you under my spell, excuse me for saying, what i know down deep is my sin, but maybe i'll fool everybody into thinking, i know just what i am doing,
