The Entertainer

He’s lost in despair Darkness, a song and a lullaby On his way alone like a satellite There was a man who lived giving shards of happiness A man who lived A man who cried A man who died wearing a mask Once there, there was there was a man who gave his life away A man who hide A man who sighed A man who smiled hearing a clap He’s paying the price Of a ticket he sold too high A dance in the shade of a candlelight Flattered by the lights On a tightrope he feels so high But so many things that can go awry There was a man who lived giving shards of happiness A man who lived A man who cried A man who died wearing a mask Once there, there was there was a man who gave his life away A man who hide A man who sighed A man who smiled hearing a clap There was a man who lived giving shards of happiness A man who lived A man who cried A man who died wearing a mask Once there, there was there was a man who gave his life away A man who hide A man who sighed A man who smiled hearing a clap "Look them cheering" As you greet But you are no fool You ain’t naive You bit a bitter treat The fire is dimmer The crowd went away And what is left Inside your chest A roar within a cage There was a man who lived giving shards of happiness A man who lived A man who cried A man who died wearing a mask Once there, there was there was a man who gave his life away A man who hide A man who sighed A man who smiled hearing a clap There was a man who lived giving shards of happiness A man who lived A man who cried A man who died wearing a mask Once there, there was there was a man who gave his life away A man who hide A man who sighed A man who smiled hearing a clap
