The Jester

Like a jester at the ball

Rub my shoulders with the kings

And I was draped in gold and velvet

Bathing in applause

While I was jumping through the rings

And then the cooks would sound a bell

And all the kings would lick their lips

But I couldn't find a placemat

The dinner table's full

And there's no room for me to sit

Is there anybody out there looking out for me?

Just say you want me, just say you need me

Is there anybody out there looking out for me?

Does anybody need me?

Is every last soul just fucking me over?

With tears on their shoes and ice on their shoulders

Is their anybody out there looking out for me?

Lord I live to entertain

All my pride is in my praise

I hum along with this vibration

And I hope to God I make it, mmh

If any chord that I could strum

Made me feel less like a man

I'd slam my fingers in the doorway

And shatter all the bones
