Stupidity Tries Lyrics

Lyric discussion by Pclz 

Cover art for Stupidity Tries lyrics by Elliott Smith

not sure about all of it, but the beginning and ending match perfectly (in my view) "Got a foot in the door God knows what for" -> he tries to keep his options (doors) open, but with no idea of what he's waiting for to happen

and so it's (no) surprise when he can't think of anything he hopes for...

p.s - "savannah shoulder"? isn't it "so then a shoulder"?
