lyrics
don’t look behind ‘cause what’s in store
is what you spent your whole damn stupid life
just trying to ignore
another dream you’re getting head
and nothing changes ‘til you’re dead
when only a fool
or a coward trying to grow a dick
would turn from joni
and walk right out of here
turn your head, decline the call
but only a fool
would turn from joni
losing track still keeping score
does this remind you of someone you thought you knew before her
no longer lonely, just alone
the lights are out and no-one’s home
only a fool or a coward trying to grow a dick
would turn from joni
and walk the other way
you only laugh to hide the sound
the tears of a clown
the words of joni
only a fool, the kind defines the crime
who could fall and keep on falling
but stalls and keeps on stalling. Only a fool
the kind of guy could turn from joni
is what you spent your whole damn stupid life
just trying to ignore
another dream you’re getting head
and nothing changes ‘til you’re dead
when only a fool
or a coward trying to grow a dick
would turn from joni
and walk right out of here
turn your head, decline the call
but only a fool
would turn from joni
losing track still keeping score
does this remind you of someone you thought you knew before her
no longer lonely, just alone
the lights are out and no-one’s home
only a fool or a coward trying to grow a dick
would turn from joni
and walk the other way
you only laugh to hide the sound
the tears of a clown
the words of joni
only a fool, the kind defines the crime
who could fall and keep on falling
but stalls and keeps on stalling. Only a fool
the kind of guy could turn from joni
