The Comedians

歌詞

I sat there alone upon the ferris wheel A pastel colored carriage in the air I thought you'd leave me dangling for a little while A silly twist upon a childish dare Below I saw you whispering to another man Who held the lever that could bring me down He'd stop the world from turning at your command It's always something cruel that laughter drowns And I'm up while the dawn is breaking Even though my heart is aching I should be drinking a toast To absent friends Instead of these comedians I can hardly hear the music from the carousel The wind picks up, the carriage starts sway As one by one the lights go out It's closing time I see you take his hand and walk away Walk away They say that you will always be the last to know They say that all that glitters is not gold It's not just that you're never coming back to me It's the bitter way that I was told And I'm up while the dawn is breaking Even though my heart is aching I should be drinking a toast To absent friends Instead of these comedians
