You play the fool
I play it cool
knowing the joke’s on me
You ask me why I look bemused

You’re nursing wounds
Your trusted goons
Better stop hustling, see
You need to take it out alone

The underbelly’s soft
The funny bone’s dry
You’re seething
You whine by playing mute
while sundry other fools are dreaming

Who hurt you so you still can’t cry
Why, won’t you answer why?

Can’t we be dreaming
