Joker

Intro (laughter echoes over detuned guitar and 808 k**k) Ha-ha… Yeah. Laugh the pain away. Hook (x2) Female Joker in the flesh, Prankster princess gon’ make your mess. Laugh the pain away — yuh, Laugh the pain away — yuh. Critics always gon’ make you stress, Let your dark side decide the rest. Laugh the pain away — yuh, Laugh the pain away — yuh. Verse 1 Ever since I was a little girl, Nanny said, “You gon’ rule the world.” Dived too deep into Van Gogh swirls, Bright-eyed freak with the wavy curls. Spellbound mind, nerves unsteady, Every word I spoke too heavy. Daddy told Mama, “I concur — Being compliant ain’t for her.” He ain’t never told no lie, baby, He ain’t never told no lie. Play your cards right, might catch a smile, Cheeky k***e grin, comedian child. Good in the world? that’s why I’m vile. Saints still preach from their fragile aisle. Sinners ride out Wild West style, Chaos lives down the triple-six aisle. Hook (x2) Female Joker in the flesh, Prankster princess gon’ make your mess. Laugh the pain away — yuh, Laugh the pain away — yuh. Heroes always gon’ make you stress, Let your dark side decide the rest. Laugh the pain away — yuh, Laugh the pain away — yuh. Bridge / Breakdown (spoken with distorted laughter) Mirror cracked but I’m still smilin’. Heart full of smoke, soul still stylin’. If peace means quiet — I’d rather r**t. Crown me chaos, I’ll stay defiant. (b**t drops, whispered chant) Laugh it off — don’t cry. Paint the pain under both eyes. Turn the hurt into high. Now watch me fly. Final Hook (repeat & fade) Female Joker in the flesh, Prankster princess gon’ make your mess. Laugh the pain away — yuh, Laugh the pain away — yuh. Critics talk while I confess, Let the madness do the rest. Laugh the pain away — yuh, Laugh the pain away — yuh. (b**t ends with laughter fading into silence)
