Kevin Morby – The Jester, The Tramp & The Acrobat lyrics

[Verse 1] The jester The jester The jester The jester Here we go again Here we go, my friend Feels like I'm dying Feels like I'm already dead Watch them hold me now Watch them lift me up Oh, look at them laughing All the midnight faces [Chorus 1] And all that I wanted Was for some peace and quiet But all that you gave me Was a parade You lift me up And put makeup on my face [Verse 2] The tramp The tramp The tramp The tramp Here we go again Here we go, my friend Feels like I'm falling A star could fall forever Watch them hold me now My mother was a dancer And now I can dance too All that you're after [Chorus 2] And all that I wanted Was for home to hold me But all that you gave me Was a sinking boat And there's water in my lungs If I scream, I'll choke [Verse 3] The acrobat Oh, the acrobat! Call my name And call it loud I cannot see the light, the flare And all this time Oh, I was a fool for, you're not even there [Chorus 3] And all that I wanted Was for some ground to stand on But all that you gave me Was an open sky Explain Request ×
