The Joker

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.
