Intelligent Fool

from Three Men Make a Tiger by Mike Vial

/

about

Intelligent Fool is an upbeat (slightly self deprecating) tune about the regrets of refusing to listening to friends' advice, especially when it comes to love.

lyrics

“Intelligent Fool”

I sit and I wait
I wait and I try
To pick through excuses and all of the lies
I fell in the road as it grew cold outside

She sits and she waits, and paints her long nails
And comes up with long tales, and I eat them slow
I’m so naïve I eat them slow

I sit and I wait
I wait and I cry
Play the images [in the] back of my mind
I promise myself to avoid all of her kind

[But] she sits and she waits before she comes back again
And I’m such a fool because I let her in
My friends just shake their heads and ask themselves why

I’m such a fool
Such an intelligent fool
As I ignore the obvious clues

She sits and she waits and paints all her nails, red
And comes up with painted tales, I’ve been fed
Oh I wanted to believe them,

So I sit and I wait
I wait while she flies
Pretend she had good intentions inside
I crave attention in my life…
