You’re a Fool
[ROGER]
You're off?
[MARK]
You wanna wait here for Benny?
[ROGER]
Is there anything else to do?
[MARK]
Anything but Maureen's show
[ROGER]
You wanna go, yes?
[MARK]
I guess
[ROGER]
For someone cool, you're a fool
[MARK]
I know
[ROGER]
But, her show's not 'til one
[MARK]
We'll do something else, it's Christmas!
[ROGER]
Oh, fun!
Some of us don't have time for that
[MARK]
Aw!
[ROGER]
Some of us get writer's block
[MARK]
What a crock
[ROGER]
Some of our parents don't pay our bills
[MARK]
Mr. Negative, 'cause he's HIV positive!
[ROGER]
You can't know, give me some latitude
[MARK]
Maybe you're blocked because of that attitude
[ROGER]
I doubt you'd bе so brave
Hell, you're scarеd to see your ex
[MARK]
I'm a chicken shit
A hypocrite -- I admit
[ROGER]
I rest my case
For someone cool, you're a fool
[MARK]
Let's make a deal
[ROGER]
No deals
[MARK]
I'll see Maureen if you come out tonight
[ROGER]
I don't fit in anymore, all right!
Anyway, I'm working
*Roger playing chords*
[ROGER]
It's scratchy
[MARK]
It recalls something, but it's catchy
[ROGER]
The inspired zone of my brain has astrophied
But, I need to leave my mark before I croak
[MARK]
Not funny!
[ROGER]
No joke
I wish that I could turn the days I wasted
Toying with dope, fiends, and groupies
Into days spent obsessing over details
The way that you do
[MARK]
If you only knew
I spend so much time obsessing, it's depressing
For someone cool, you're the fool
You want to rediscover the spark
Leave a mark, share something with someone
Face your fears
[ROGER]
What's that I hear?
Maureen, did you say?
[MARK]
Touche
[MARK & ROGER]
For someone cool, you're a-
*knock on the door*
[MARK & ROGER]
Shit!
*another knock*
[MARK & ROGER]
Hi!
*another knock*
[MARK & ROGER]
The lock!
*another knock*
[MARK & ROGER]
Damn!
