the joker

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
