I can be the punch line Laugh at myself, laugh at my past My past is so transparent If you bring a rope I can tie the noose They call this a sight gag Watch me twist and shake, watch me go loose I go loose In half-filled halls with false applause Pointing out all my flaws Comedians, ha ha ha Comedians, ha ha ha Prat falls and junky heckles I eject 'em and become proud Comedians, ha ha ha Comedians, ha ha ha Tragedy can split up You can't hold on and you cry Now there is an open manhole I fall in and die, fall in and die And I die In half-filled halls with false applause Pointing out all my flaws Comedians, ha ha ha Comedians, ha ha ha Prat falls and junky heckles I eject 'em and become proud Comedians, ha ha ha Comedians, ha ha ha At the end of the day It was really only you that wanted to like me I think I figured out how to make it work The funnier I get, the more that I get hurt In these half-filled halls with false applause Pointing out all my flaws Comedians, ha ha ha Comedians, ha ha ha Prat falls and junky heckles I eject 'em and become proud Comedians, ha ha ha Comedians, ha ha ha Comedians, ha ha ha Comedians, ha ha ha
