A Jester's Life

from A Jester's Life by ernie c ernst

lyrics

you: dark shades, me: off color witty remarks
we: both fools to follow this dream down into the belly of a well dressed shark
you: my hero but we're so much the same
you stroke your own ego i yell my own name

take heed my friend
it's only the means to an unglamourous end
make no mistake
we found our way here but we did not discover this place

plates of fine china these silly hearts that we chose
our muses steal our pillows wherever we go
frost-bitten fingers cannot bend strings
so we feed off our respective fire whatever that means

take heed my friend
it's only the means to an unglamourous end
make no mistake
we found our way here but we did not discover this place

we lie to each other we lie to that which lies within
we lie 'round all day in this big old bed naked as sin
on the left of this fine, fine line i am the king and you pour my wine
on the other side you reign supreme and i lead a jester's life
