michael mccormic jr. - the funnyman's smile lyrics

funnyman, doing the best he can
to keep us smiling even when his heart is low
peter pan grown up into a man
do you believe that you can fly if lost boys tell you so?

euphegenia, truth, a mask still speaks
it says, “i’m not who you think i am.”
stand on your desk, reciting poetry
and i’ll salute to you, my captain

chorus
oh funny man, were you alone?
did the world just keep you crying?
funny man, was n0body there to hold you close
and wipe away your tears?

doctors make the worst patients
drunk bartenders are few
the pipes are clogged in the plumber’s housе
when the mortgage bill comе due
and i can’t help but wonder
if it was true for you as well
if watching everybody smile
was a special kind of h+ll
‘cause, you could make the world
forget its problems for a while
but who was there to make
the funnyman smile?
dr. patch, making the children laugh
because when life’s a game, reality’s a canvas
well, it’s a game for those who seek to find a way to leave the world behind
you’re only given one little spark of madness

nanu, nanu, fly away, be free
we’ll get by knowing you’re not gone
’cause you still live within the silver screen
the radio still echoes, “good morning, vietnam!”

chorus
oh funny man, were you alone?
did the world just keep you crying?
funny man, with n0body there to hold you close
and wipe away your tears?

well, maybe i’m over the worst of it
maybe i’m only an idiot
maybe the it’s all just as good as you made me believe
but maybe it’s over before it begins
and maybe we’re paying for each other’s sins
maybe the world is a place we should all want to leave

chorus
oh funny man, were you alone?
did the world just keep you crying?
funny man, with n0body there to hold you close
and wipe away your tears?
well, i had a dream i was trapped in a cave
with nothing but a magic lamp
i polished its side, and out you came
gold shackles around your hands
you said son, i think there’s something people like you and me should know
life is more than empty jokes and putting on a show
‘cause you can make the world smile, and get nothing in return
and in the end you find that what you give is what they think you’re worth

then you offered me three wishes, but i saw only one worth while
i said i want the chance to make the funnyman smile
oh give me a chance, a chance to show you

chorus
funny man, you’re not alone
no, even when you’re crying
i’ll be there to hold you close
and tell you everything will be alright

post+chorus
because doctors still need checkups
bartenders need a drink or two
the funnyman, still needs to smile
and these days, i do, too
’cause all the times you made me laugh
now they feel a little colder
to know that when life knocked you down
you cried on your own shoulder
’cause you can make the world
forget its problems for a while
but who was there to make you smile?
tell me, who was there to make the funnyman smile?
oh, to make the funnyman smile
