The Joker

The Joker Lyrics

You don't know me from the morning
Since the old days you've been boring
I gave them what they need to keep them laughing
You gave us skills and fear to make it happen

Down at St. Marks you upped the ante
But the music come in handy
You told me that the king would never have me
You taught me sweet Mary before you slapped me

But I turned the light on, turned the light on
Took the shame out of my bread
Come tomorrow, come tomorrow
Nobody will even know you're dead yeah

(I'm the joker, I'm the joker)

Mr. Tibbs gotta hold on me
Donut hips they were fine by me
You're only out here for a little while
So come on, you dying star

Turn the light on, turn the light on
Get the shame out of the way
Turn the light on, turn your light on
Everybody knows it's judgment day right now

(I'm the joker, I'm the joker)

You took the beauty out the window
I guess you don't care which way the wind blows
You told me that the king would never have me
You taught me sweet Mary before you slapped me

But I'm the joker, and I'm changing
And you can't put a pin in my arrangement
Every time you hold me to the fire
I disappear into the choir

I'm the Joker, I'm the Joker
I'm the Joker, I'm the Joker
I'm the Joker

(I'm the joker, I'm the joker)
