If you were still here today
Would you listen to what I say
Or would you shake your head in shame
When you see that I am not the same
If you’d stayed and played the game
Could I still play in your parade
Or would you turn and walk away
And wonder why I turned out this way
*
The laughing clown
Is in the ground
You came and went
Without a sound
For one last joke
Hanging from a rope
You came and went
While you choked
*
TOMORROW I’LL BE DEAD
HAHAHAHAHA . . . .
*
. . . You said
You just wanted me to laugh
For a while
I could have saved you with my smile
But no
Uh oh . . .
*
And how was the world
So clear in your eyes
Did you ever wonder like me
Or could you already see
Did you already know
*
The dancing clown
Laughs in the ground
Your pants were down
When you were found
One last joke
Before you choked
You blew your load
Hanging from that rope
*
I THINK THOUGHTS LIKE YOU
HAHAHAHA . . .
*
. . . You said
That yours just happen to be true
And I smiled
But you had turned and walked away
And I stayed
Aha
Oh no . . .
*
And was the world really
So clear in your eyes
Did you ever wonder like me
Or did you already see
Were you already free
*
The laughing clown
Is in the ground
The world goes round and round
(round and round)
But as you choked
Hanging from that rope
You changed the world
Just for a joke
*
JUST FOR A JOKE
HAHAHA . . .
*
(Just for a joke)
And we see into the unseen
And we hate what we have been
And is anything what it seems?
And did you read what I just wrote?
