Chuckles Deluxe

I'm a clown in the eyes of my peers Who would have guessed All these years And I get down with the tides of my fears I do not jest It's obvious to me Who takes a nose-dive in my dreams And when I come to from the deepest sleep I know I'm still a fool in real life Hey I'm just a fool in real life It was a king and two queens and me I tried to sing But could barely breathe I was just there for absurdity So I did jest Though I wanted to believe I'd inspire more than tittering I finally come to from the deepest sleep And see it's simply just like real life Hey Your laughter I ignite And I never had anyone who told me And I never had anyone who dared Get in the way of my light Or was that delusion? Oh, in time, I'll leave content I'll leave content I'll leave content I'll leave content I said "now, I see myself in this cat" A makeup'd frown she tipped her hat "Chuckles Deluxe or something like that" She said her name/obvious to me She pulled a scarf out of her sleeve She feigned insecurity But I saw the switchblade in her teeth And then I realized her reflection was the same Upon the vanity Hey Upon the vanity She looked just like me She looked just like me She looked just like me
