Wanna hear a joke? Wanna have a laugh? I can be the punch line Laugh at myself, laugh at my past My past is so transparent If you bring a rope I can tie the noose They call this a sight gag Watch me twist and shake, watch me go loose I go loose In half-filled halls with false applause Pointing out all my flaws Comedians, ha ha ha Comedians, ha ha ha Prat falls and drunken heckles Somewhat jaded and beacon crowd Comedians, ha ha ha Comedians, ha ha ha Tragedy can split up You can't hold on and you cry Now there is an open manhole I fall in and die, fall in and die And I die In half-filled halls with false applause Pointing out all my flaws Comedians, ha ha ha Comedians, ha ha ha Prat falls and drunken heckles Somewhat jaded and beacon crowd Comedians, ha ha ha Comedians, ha ha ha At the end of the day It was really only you that wanted to laugh at me I think I figured out how to make this work The funnier I get, the more that I get hurt In these half-filled halls with false applause Pointing out all my flaws Comedians, ha ha ha Comedians, ha ha ha Prat falls and drunken heckles Somewhat jaded and beacon crowd Comedians, ha ha ha Comedians, ha ha ha Comedians, ha ha ha Comedians, ha ha ha
