Supply me with a little more dignity please I don’t melt by the sunrise reflecting in your eyes I don’t suppose I am the bate for your tragedy And the ignorance dangling from your fishing-hooked lies
I am your clown and you are my ironic wisdom Shall I recite a gag only your better half can brew Dare I call out from my comical hole Making snide remarks that only fools could answer to
If I foresaw the end of this dripping cause Would I smile at your expense Soiling the hands of a lost and lonely voice That only missing thoughts could rinse
I am the clown at the end of your hook Telling tales to ears that never listen Can I please struggle at the suburbs of an abandoned heart Only to know that the beat of my own heart will never quicken
