The Fool's Show Lyrics

I will be your entertainment

Be captivated by my faces

Don't ever think about if I have a place

And don't you dare think about what is backstage

Do your duty as an audience

Give me two acts with an intermission

To explain why I have brought you here today

It's a great story but the show ain't that great

Been doing ok

I've been overwhelmed at times

With all the things that I have going on inside

And you can tell that it's been hard by the way

That the stage is lit with only blue colored lights

I see a problem and I have to fix it

Like when curtains tear so I reschedule cool tricks

For another weekend but don't get me wrong

I want to entertain you all but only if I feel like

I am strong, and I'm amazing

All the sudden my confidence is dangerous

I'm a pendulum when it comes to the rough

And I have to decide if I'm a clown or a god

I don't get enough of all the critics' talk

Though I've never been allowed to read 'em all

Curtains call

Good thing I'm an entertainer

I'm playing all the parts that I cast for later

Events and I got all these people to watch me

Up here all alone

But at least now you know

That it's my show

It's my show

It's my show

Yeah

I could really go for an outstanding

Upstanding, standing ovation

I could really do a lot

To get a lot of non-bought honest

Unrealistic adoration

Pull the pulleys, lift the curtain

I am certain you will see something

You true and earnestly are amazed with

And the worst case is

(End of Act One!)

You don't like what you see so I pull the pulley

And your adoration is when curtains fall and I am all unfazed

And standing in the shade

Of shadows cast by lights backstage

While you all fade into the parlor

(Intermission)

Get a grip and pull out all the stops

And none of your punches

All the critics talk about how Act One is

Oh they hate it, oh they hate it

Why do I care, leave the shade and

Fix my tie and switch my faces

Play my part, it's why they paid to see it

I can't disappoint though I've already jinxed it

Maybe if I wing it

This whole thing could be amazing

I could laugh at my misplacements

Grade it by recovery

It's time to go

Act Two is opening

The curtains call

And they will know

Good thing I'm an entertainer

I'm playing all the parts that I cast for later

Events and I got all these people to watch me

Up here all alone

But at least now you know

That it's my show

It's my show

It's my show

Yeah

Good thing I'm an entertainer

I'm playing all the parts that I cast for later

Events and I got all these people to watch me

Up here all alone

But at least now you know

That it's
