King Of Slapstick
Claus Hempler
Kind welcome to you all
Who never come when the master calls
I´ll bite the sawdust, bow and scrape
And serve the punchlines on a plate
Your mascara melting in the sun
Watching all the secrets come undone
We´re endlessly in love below the stars
So all in all we´re perfect as we are
It´s a circus, I´m your clown
Who knows the routine, the ups and downs
Who learned lesson number one:
To keep a straight face, to overcome
The guilt and shame and show no pain
While the heart cracks like porcelain
Your mascara melting in the sun
Watching all the secrets come undone
We´re endlessly in love below the stars
So all in all we ´re perfect as we are
You want something you can´t get
In return for what you pay
Teach me something I haven´t
Already learned the hard way
Your mascara melting in the sun
Watching all the secrets come undone
We´re endlessly in love below the stars
So all in all we´re perfect as we are
