Blind Old Fool
A man on a fiddle
The devil's black tale
A scrimshaw riddle
And Ahab's the whale
The jawbones helm
Her sunken draft
The captain grips
The cannibal craft
Well I took a look in the glass the other day
At the film in my flask
That won't go away
Some blind old fool
Complete with scars to prove it
Some courage
But fear to use it
Well you're awful proud of where you been aren't you boy
Think you seen some things
Think you got a story
Well you fell for every trick in the book and knew it
You should have learned
But you got through it
My favorite gain
Is not making
The same Mistakes
My favorite gain
Is not making
The same mistakes
Keep on loving till you cry
Keep on laughing
Till the day you die
Wake your mind and work it out
It's time to start living
What this life's about
Just like my words that devil should've killed me
I followed the world
But used it to rebuild me
It isn't every day you get to raze the immovable
Then blaze the rubble
And build something beautiful
My favorite gain
Is not making
The same mistakes
My favorite gain
Is not making
The same mistakes
The devil's black tale
A scrimshaw riddle
And Ahab's the whale
The jawbones helm
Her sunken draft
The captain grips
The cannibal craft
Well I took a look in the glass the other day
At the film in my flask
That won't go away
Some blind old fool
Complete with scars to prove it
Some courage
But fear to use it
Well you're awful proud of where you been aren't you boy
Think you seen some things
Think you got a story
Well you fell for every trick in the book and knew it
You should have learned
But you got through it
My favorite gain
Is not making
The same Mistakes
My favorite gain
Is not making
The same mistakes
Keep on loving till you cry
Keep on laughing
Till the day you die
Wake your mind and work it out
It's time to start living
What this life's about
Just like my words that devil should've killed me
I followed the world
But used it to rebuild me
It isn't every day you get to raze the immovable
Then blaze the rubble
And build something beautiful
My favorite gain
Is not making
The same mistakes
My favorite gain
Is not making
The same mistakes
