Lyrics
I can sing, I can dance
Just give me a chance
To do my turn for you
There's a chance I'll slip
But with stiff upper lip
I'll sing a song for you
Laughter is free
But it's so hard to be a jester
All the time
And no one's believing
I'm the same when I'm bleeding
And I hurt all the time deep inside.
I've shed a tear for the lying
While everyday trying to
Paint this smile for you
Backflips, cartwheelings
Somersault feelings
What is there left to do
Laughter is free
But it's so hard to be a jester
All the time
And no one's believing
I'm the same when I'm bleeding
And I hurt all the time deep inside.
Roll up, roll up
Enjoy the show
Pick me up, wind me up, put me down
You'll see me go
And this painted smile
May miss for a while
Then come back and steal your show
I sing, I dance
Give me a chance to do my turn for you
There's a chance I'll slip
But with stiff upper lip
I'll sing a song for two
Laughter is free
But it's too hard to be a jester
Every time
And no one's believing
I'm the same when I'm bleeding
And I hurt all the time deep inside.
Laughter is free
But it's too hard to be a jester
Every time
And no one's believing
I'm the same when I'm bleeding
And I hurt all the time deep inside.
Your painted smile hides you still
While you search yourself within
Yesterday and tomorrow's found
Fused as one upon solid ground
While all around this milling crowd
Confuse themselves with raging sounds
And their love's forgetfulness abounds
So I'm thankful for my greasepaint clown
If loneliness wears the crown
