Lyrics

0:01Got a foot
0:04In the door
0:07God knows what for
0:12And he'll cut me down to size
0:17Stupidity tries
0:24Everything here is free
0:30Everything but you and me
0:35This painting never dries
0:40Stupidity tries
0:47Savannah shoulder raised a cheer
0:53Coloring the sky with ash
0:59Because they found some privateer
1:04To sail across the sea of trash
1:11The enemy
1:14Is within
1:17Don't confuse me with him
1:22The truth is otherwise
1:27Stupidity tries
1:58And so I go from floor to floor
2:03Looking for a port of call
2:09Another drunk conquistador
2:15Conquering the governor's ball
2:21I couldn't think
2:24Of a thing
2:27That I hope tomorrow brings
2:32Oh what a surprise
2:37Stupidity tries
Got a foot
In the door
God knows what for
And he'll cut me down to size
Stupidity tries
Everything here is free
Everything but you and me
This painting never dries
Stupidity tries
Savannah shoulder raised a cheer
Coloring the sky with ash
Because they found some privateer
To sail across the sea of trash
The enemy
Is within
Don't confuse me with him
The truth is otherwise
Stupidity tries
And so I go from floor to floor
Looking for a port of call
Another drunk conquistador
Conquering the governor's ball
I couldn't think
Of a thing
That I hope tomorrow brings
Oh what a surprise
Stupidity tries
