A comedian died tonight
Beside my bed, coughing in the moonlight
Oh, how he didn't want to go
His face was painted white and he cried
"Lord, let me live another life"
How could you be our hangman?
All the comedians in pain, will you save them?
My faith is in no one else's hands
Will you keep me alive in you eyes?
Lord, let us live another life
Are we all part of your bad dream?
Where all the comedians laugh and scream
And the riverbed weeps when you are sad
Everyone that opens their eyes tonight
Lord, let them live another life
Our bodies are falling apart
But the way they move is a work of art
A joke that's killing everyone
No one in the room is left alive
Lord, let us live another life
A comedian died tonight
Beside my bed, coughing in the moonlight
Oh, how he didn't want to go
His face was painted white and he cried
"Lord, let me live another life"
