Kevin Morby - The Jester, the Tramp & The Acrobat Lyrics

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

And all that I wanted
Was for some peace and quiet
But all that you gave me was a parade
You'd lift me up and put makeup on my face

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

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

The acrobat oh, the acrobat!
Call my name and call it loud
I cannot see the light of your flare
And all this time
Oh, I was a fool, for you're not even there

And all that I wanted
Was for some ground to stand on
But all that you gave me was an open sky
