You don't know me from the morning Since the old days you've been boring I gave them what they need to keep them laughing You gave us skills and fear to make it happen Down at St. Marks you upped the ante But the music come in handy You told me that the king would never have me You taught me sweet Mary before you slapped me But I turned the light on, turned the light on Took the shame out of my bread Come tomorrow, come tomorrow Nobody will even know you're dead yeah (I'm the joker, I'm the joker) Mr. Tibbs gotta hold on me Donut hips they were fine by me You're only out here for a little while So come on, you dying star Turn the light on, turn the light on Get the shame out of the way Turn the light on, turn your light on Everybody knows it's judgment day right now (I'm the joker, I'm the joker) You took the beauty out the window I guess you don't care which way the wind blows You told me that the king would never have me You taught me sweet Mary before you slapped me But I'm the joker, and I'm changing And you can't put a pin in my arrangement Every time you hold me to the fire I disappear into the choir I'm the Joker, I'm the Joker I'm the Joker, I'm the Joker I'm the Joker (I'm the joker, I'm the joker)
