Intro Silence drowns the laughter And the last joke dies away A pain-contorted smile Is just a grimace in my face Oh – noone will realize Oh – the fear… behind these eyes 1.) Dance around cutting capers and jokes Play the fool for another day From the first time when their laughter arose I was a victim on a royal stage 2.) Life´s paradox I smile when I cry Out of vogue they´ll kill me goodbye Behind a mask I´m hiding my sorrow Will I cheer, or die tomorrow Bridge I struggle to juggle All my pain I receive from you Just a bit of approval - ´cause a jester´s not only a fool Refrain And the jester´s crying - a lake of tears Sorrow´s washing delight away And the jester´s trying - to hide his fears Behind the fake of a smile (It´s just a pathetic try) Interlude And if my antics starting to pall There will be no chance at all Their last amusement is to end my life I shall welcome the hangmans knife No one knows quite what it seems Laughter turns to desperate screams Chor am Schluss And the jester, and the jester, and the jester´s trying And the jester, and the jester, can´t stop his cryingTeksty umieszczone na naszej stronie są własnością wytwórni, wykonawców, osób mających do nich prawa.
