The Joker's Joke

(album: ...And The Family Telephone - 2007)

The fields so green as the magnet
Now everyones trying this magic
A big man is pullin out rabbits from under his sleeve
He's famous you see
What he can do with a magic ring

I am the stage fright comedian
That nobody wants to go see again
My jokes are so long out of season but they're laughing at me
I'm funny you see
Everyone throw all your bones to me
I know the jokers joke is just the beggers beg
But damn a liars only as good as he can fake

The eye in the sky is a magnet
Now I have been forming a habit
Of reaching up and trying to grab it
But it closes on me
He's getting famous you see
But no one gives a damn of what he's doing to me

The fields so green as the magnet
Now everyones trying this magic
A big man is pullin out rabbits from under his sleeve
He's famous you see
No one really cares of what he's doing to me

(la da da...)

I know the jokers joke
I know the beggers beg
I know the liars lie and I know the saints fate
I know the jokers joke
I know the beggers beg
I know the liars lie and I know the saints fate
