I don't quite understand this song. It all seems pretty straightforward until it gets to the "another fool" parts. The most I can guess is that he's sitting around thinking about the life he used to have and a) his girl died on the way to some place and he's just pretending she's at the movies and that she'll be back later b) she left him and isn't coming back and he's in denial about it, pretending (again) that she's at the movies.
The lyrics say "he wonders if he's really lost his one joy" so apparently his significant other has left him in some capacity. The lines about "another fool" suggest that he's in denial about reality and seem to say that these events have already happened.
I don't really get why he's called a fool, though. Nor do I how you can drive a "broken car" to "find the show". So it seems like the word "broken" is of some significance. The most puzzling lines to me are "And he wonders if the car will start tomorrow/Or he'll have to take the bus instead"
These are just some things to ponder. Can anyone shed any light?
to me, it is about the end of a relationship
speciafically its about someone who isnt fighting to keep the relationship from ending, instead he is sitting around feeling sorry for himself about why it went wrong
"He surveys his rental kingdom and he
Wonders if he's really lost his one joy"
but he never made the effort with her in the first place
and never fought to keep her
"Another fool would go down to the
Only place she ever went to lose herself"
he knows where she is, but he isnt going after her

...
maybe it is told from the point of view of another guy who wishes he was with the girl himself but she was with this guy who doesnt apreciate her, and that is why he calls him a fool, because he had everything he wanted, but didnt make an effort to keep it
i think this is clear he didnt make an effort with her in the line
"Now he looks around his place and anyways
There's nowhere she could sit besides the bed"
i think the broken car bit is that his car isnt really broken beyond repair, he is just making excuses not to go after her
like, another more deserving guy would fix his car, go after her and win her back
but he doesnt
instead he worries about everyday trivial things
"And he wonders if the car will start tomorrow
Or he'll have to take the bus instead"
(see his car isnt really broken, and there would be other ways to go after her, like the bus)
he is letting the relationship end, whereas another fool, but probably more deserving man, would have fought to keep her
those are just my thoughts on it, hope that helped :]
