Laugh Man
Did you ever hear the one about...? Oh god, I love myself When I've got it on I know I'll live forever, babe All my fears are gone Then suddenly I'm dyin' They turn the laugh track off I'm drownin' in the silence Crucified by coughs Oh I am the laugh man Half clown and half man Mister can't you see? I'm supposed to leave you laughin' Why don't you laugh at me? I started out by starvin' Desperate for money My belly crackin' dirty jokes That didn't come out funny My neck stuck out so far Like a gawky giraffe Screamin' on a guillotine Come on sucker, laugh Letras de canciones Oh I am the laugh man Half clown and half man Half out and half in Mister can't you see? I'm supposed to leave to laughin' So why don't you laugh at me? Oh I am the guy who always Catches the pie I specialize in Pratfalls I am the goon Who flashes the moon A mouse in a house of Catcalls I'm your jester, your juggler Your joker, your friend I'm nothin' more or less Than a horse's nether end My ego is a bubble That I realize just broke And alone without a microphone My real life's a joke Oh I am the laugh man Half clown and half man Half out and half in Mister can't you see? I'm supposed to leave you laughin' So why don't you laugh at me? Oh I'm supposed to leave you laughing So why don't you laugh at me? Did you ever hear the one about...? From Letras Mania
