"The Joker" lyrics

"The Joker"
(from "Harlequin" soundtrack)

There's always a joker in the pack
There's always a lonely clown
The poor laughing 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
And everyone laughs at him just the same
They don't see his lonely 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 the rule
But fate deals the hand that I see

The joker is me, the joker is me
The joker is me, the joker is me
The joker is me

Drink the poison 'cause there's always a loser in the game
The court loves to watch them cry
The royals shout, "This queen needs to sing"
To ruffle the scene of the crime
The king wears a funny suit, he's a clown
The crowd rumbles with their roars
And everyone watches as he declines
The queen pierces him with a sword

I don't care as long as there is a wild man in the deck
As long as I see his frown
Then I won't be lonely, that's a fact
I stand here and wait for his sound, ha, ha, ha

The joker is me, the joker is me
The joker is me, the joker is me
The joker is me

The joker is me
The joker is me
