“The Jester (From the Hideout)” is a demo version of “The Jester”, the 2nd track on Badflower’s debut album “OK, I’M SICK”. The song, like Heroin, lasts 5 minutes, which is a minute and 25 longer than the album version.
[Verse 1]
Like a jester at the ball
Rub my shoulders with the kings
I was draped in golden velvet
Bathing in applause while I was jumping through the rings
And the cooks would sound a bell, and the kings would lick their lips
But I couldn't find a placemat, the dinner table's full and there's place for me to sit
[Chorus]
Is there anybody out there lookin' out for me?
Just say you want me, just say you need me
Is there anybody out there lookin' out for me?
[Verse 2]
Lord, I live to entertain
All the pride is in my praise
I hum along with this vibration
And hope to God I make it
If any chord that I could strum
Made me feel less like a man
I'd slam my fingers in the doorway
And shatter all the bones so I can never strum again
[Chorus]
Is there anybody out there lookin' out for me?
Just say you want me, just say you need me
Is there anybody out there lookin' out for me?
Is every last soul just fucking me over?
With tears on their shoes and ice on their shoulders
Is there anybody out there lookin' out for me?
[Chorus]
Is there anybody out there lookin' out for me?
Just say you want me, just say you need me
Is there anybody out there lookin' out for me?
Is every last soul just fucking me over?
With tears on their shoes and ice on their shoulders
Is there anybody out there lookin' out for me?
[Outro]
Is every last soul just fucking me over?
With tears on their shoes and ice on their shoulders
Is there anybody out there lookin' out for me?
Is every last soul just fucking me over?
With tears on their shoes and ice on their shoulders
Is there anybody out there lookin' out for me?
