lyrics

A mind starts to wander
A car gets too small
This is no place to be hiding
When I’m climbing the walls
I’m talking to myself just now
And it’s all I can do
To keep from laughing at myself
Cause I’m talking like a fool
Yes I’m talking like a fool

I shake myself awake again
It’s getting late at night
In the mountains north of Tucson
I stop to get a bite
There’s a pretty girl with a bunch of friends, she’s got her arm around
a retarded man and he’s
grinning ear to ear

There’s a phone in the corner
And as my eyes fill up with tears
I call an old lover
I haven’t spoken to in years
She laughs when she hears it’s me
She asks me what’s new
I lie and say I’m still the same
She knows I’m talking like a fool
I’m still talking like a fool

We talk about our younger days
And our less than kind farewells
As selfish as a newborn
We’d thought only of ourselves
I bear no resemblance now
To someone so cruel
But here I am a smarter man
And I’m talking like a fool

The eyes of the childlike guy
They find me across this crowded room
And he smiles as if to say
Why would you talk this way

I say I’d like to see her
She doesn’t make a sound
It’s like wishing on a falling star
Before it hits the ground
We struggle through our goodbyes
As I stare across the room
I am frozen in my lonesomeness
I am frozen in my shoes
And I’m talking like a fool
