The joker is me
There's always a joker in the pack
There's always a cardboard clown
The poor painted fool falls on his back
And everyone laughs when he's down
There's always a funny man in the game
But he's only funny by mistake
But everyone laughs at him just the same
They don't see his painted heart break
They don't care as long as there is a jester
Just a fool, as foolish as he can be
There's always a joker, that's a rule
But fate deals the hand and I see
The joker is me
There's always a funny man in the game
But he's only funny by mistake
But everyone laughs at him just the same
They don't see his painted heart break
They don't care as long as there is a jester
Just a fool, as foolish as he can be
There's always a joker, that's a rule
But fate deals the hand and I see
The joker is me
The joker is me
The joker is me
