Laugh clown laugh
This is grief and there's no mistaking
People will wear you out and move on
But you know there's no running
From Gotham's decadence
The wishful ignorant oh so hate to covet
Laugh clown laugh
Even when your heart is breaking
This cannot be remedied by any balm
The whole city will be left burning
Delivered from providence
Behind the chaos a laughing silhouette
