For my very first real post I thought I’d submit a set of song lyrics I recently wrote for a Rhythm and Blues song.
JOKER JESTER FOOL
Well there’s a Joker never got a laugh
The joke was all on him
The Jester couldn’t make it work
Her virtue was her sin
And the Fool
The Fool of All
The Fool was better than them both at what they did
When you laugh at your tomorrow
Then that’s the sport you play
Come love or lasting sorrow
The dark’s as good as day
You jest to hear it spoken
Joke to hear it sung
But far away from everything
You know they were the one
There’s a Fool, a fool who jokes the Jester at their game
The Earth she is a jester
The Moon Man’s just a joke
The future’s all in motion
The past is just all smoke
And the Fool
Well, but the Fool
The Fool is better than them all at what they do
Love is never steady
Seldom is it kind
It’s jested with the ready
Played jokes upon their minds
I’m foolish if I listen
Yet damn me if I don’t
I wish a greater distance
But I know I won’t
Between the jest I want to hear
And the joke upon my heart
There’s a Fool, a fool who jests the Joker by his name
Now the Joker never works the show
In quite the way he thinks
The Jester she don’t ever stop
Cause everything is linked
There’s Jokers all inside of you
There’s Jesters just like me
But the Fool
The Fool in us
Is better than us all at what we do
Yeah, the Fool
That lonely Fool
Is better than us all at what we do…
