Step right up - meet ‘The Joker’
the travelling clown
entertainer - bending belief
come on gather round

Out of the spotlight - he comes down

I give you ‘The Joker’
beneath the greasepaint
behind that lob-sided smile -
lost face of ‘The Joker’
so alone in the mirror
stops to stare a while -
last call for ‘The Joker’
running on empty miles

Packs his old bag - for the morning
each new hole hand-sewn
the show’s over - summer’s all done
takes his love back home

No more encores - hits the road

I give you ‘The Joker’
beneath the greasepaint
behind that lob-sided smile -
lost face of ‘The Joker’
so alone in the mirror
stops to stare a while -
last call for ‘The Joker’
running on empty miles

Welcome back - welcome home
been away - way too long -
brought my love back home

Farewell to ‘The Joker’
beyond the greasepaint
lost in a lazy smile -
no place for ‘The Joker’
feels like home in the mirror
home to stay a while -
farewell to ‘The Joker’
lost in a lazy smile
