About the song
The song is loosely based on a person who thinks he's a lot better and more important than he is, and has no problem treating others as if he's the only one who matters. He also has no idea that just about everyone else can see that he's an idiot.
Lyrics
A clueless twit
A fool to all
continually lit
a moron with gall

Feigning humility
encompasing the perfect fool
vainly stroking his chin
making a nasty puddle of drool

Closed the book, said goodnight to the dark
Reached for the switch, felt a shock, saw the spark
He arrived just in time as before
Dressed all in black as he fell through the door...

...unannounced...

Inside his feeble mind
Inside his troubled mind
Inside his wicked mind
Controlling all the time


Outstretched I see him fall
Too late to stop his fate
I guess I caused the stall
I guess it's much too late
You think I know it all
You think I lost the race
He thinks it fell apart
I know better


He performs to an audience of one
He pretends he's a God unto none
But in truth he's an insipid louse
He performs to an empty full house


And he will say it
You wish he'd go
I never thought it meant that much
And she will say it
You wish she'd go
I never thought it meant that much

And he'll recover
And she will know
Now everything has blown apart
And she'll recover
And he will know
Now everything has blown apart


Inside his troubled mind
Inside his feeble mind
Inside his wicked mind
Controlling all the time

Inside his troubled mind
Inside his feeble mind
Inside his wicked mind
Controlling all the time


And he will say it
You wish he'd go
I never thought it meant that much
And he'll recover
And she will know
Now everything has blown apart

I see him in the sky
I draw the world for him
But he just paints me black and gray
He fell out of the sky
I draw the world for him
But he just paints me black and gray

draw his world
paint his sky
draw the girl
say goodbye
see him off
make believe
see her off
see him leave


Outstretched I see him fall
Too late to stop his fate
I guess I caused the stall
I guess it's much too late
You think I know it all
You think I lost the race
He thinks it fell apart
I know better
