"The Joker"

Words and Music by Snail

 

The Joker, he cried

He said "Drifter, go home!"

Love's been denied

Won't you leave her alone?

 

I couldn't leave,

'Cause my love was too strong.

So I sat myself down

and sang her a love song.

 

The drifter, he sings

for an hour of time.

The dream doesn't fail,

It just needs more wine.

 

The Joker, he cried

He said "Drifter, go home!"

Love's been denied

Won't you leave her alone?

 

The Joker, he cried

He said "Drifter, go home!"

Love's been denied

Won't you leave her alone?

 

But I couldn't leave,

'Cause my love was too strong.

So I sat myself down

and sang her a love song.

 

And the lady, she cried

Said everything's wrong.

When the Joker gets weak,

Don't you know that the dream stays strong?

 

Wisdom's for fools

And a fool can't be told.

When the drifter gets cold

The Joker stays hot.
