Fly  you greatest fool

Why can't you say what they want you to

Why can't you do what they taught you
And show what they wanted of you

Fly  you greatest fool

Is this what everyone talked about

You spill your high-flung phrases

And hush when the risk gets too much

And I  I wish you would do it

Then I'd never have to notice if the bridges are burnt

Is this what everyone talked about

Swallow everything that suits  dress it up as truth

Swallow it all down

And I  I wish you would do it

Then I'd never have to notice if the bridges are burnt

And I  I wish you would do it

Then I'd never have to notice if the bridges are burnt

So cold out here
