D E A (NC)
You sit there half asleep, brewin, stewin, she says finally, Hey whatcha doin?

E A
Just about an hour ago I thought I heard the phone.
A D

E A
Silly questions get a silly answer all the time.
Then you just get outta the hospital after about a three month stay.
Had every bone in you broken, and you're tryin to make your way.
An old friend steps right up to you and says Hey how's Trix?
You've been in the hospital for three long months and he says, Hey you been sick?
Foolish question, nah I like my meals in bed.
Cost ain't a lot and I'm curin up purty good now.
Why don't you go break your leg, that attraction there is fine.
Foolish questions get a silly answer all the time.
Play intro:
Well you step into an elevator and you open up the door.
You walk right into the shaft and fall down forty floors.
And when you hit the bottom and you're layin there in the dirt.
The first person that comes along gonna say, Hey you hurt?
Foolish questions, your dyin words are no.
I was kinda in a hurry, well the elevator's too slow.
I find a save a lot of time, comin down that way.
Foolish questions, yea you'll hear em everyday.
