The Joker

"Be careful who you call a King"

 

All the romantic girls want a 'knight in shining armour'

All princesses want some noble king to sweep them off their feet

All the bad girls want a rebel who's mean with lots of green

Well... I'm all three

 

I want the joker

Who can outwit the knight in a fight with only his words

Who can make the king laugh with accents and gestures so absurd

Who can cause the rebel to cry and fly away like a scared little bird

I want the joker

 

I'm a poet

I need the joker to take away the sadness in the words I write

I need the joker to willingly fight for me with his own life

I need the joker to stand tall and proud, yet admit when he's not right

I need the joker to love me fully, unbiasedly and with all his might

I'm a poet

 

Knights are overrated

Kings are old and outdated

Rebels are deathly fated

 

Jokers are an eternity

Cause laughter can surely never die

Jokers are everything

Cause my heart will surely never cry
