The Jester

Oh oh oh

Mmm

I wear a mask and the face you see

The painted smile isn't me

The makeup that the Jester uses

Hides his cuts and bruises

You look for secrets that I hide

You want to know what's wrong inside

You want me to provide a key

To unlock the other me

I wish I had the answer

Or patented the pills

To set myself back on my feet

And remedy my ills

The world's a stage

On which I dance

I tell the tale how love prevails

So set aside your fears

You'll never know this lonely soul

Or ever see my tears

You see the Jester smile for all

And laugh as he takes a fall

But when he rings the curtain down

The Jester's just a lonely clown

I wish I had the answer

Or patented the pills

To set myself back on my feet

And remedy my ills

The world's a stage

On which I dance

Dance Jester sing

The Jester can do anything

Leap Jester, touch the sky

But never let them see you cry

No, never let them see you cry

Never let them see you cry

No never let them see you

Cry

Cry

Cry

Don't ever let them see you cry

No never let them see you cry

Never let them see you cry

No never let them see you cry

I wish I had the answer

Or patented the pills

To set myself back on my feet

And remedy my ills

The world's a stage

On which I'll dance

And sing my little song

Enticing you to take my hand

Perhaps you'll sing along
