Anything For A Laugh
The lyric stays readable and compact here; the note and related paths sit nearby so you do not lose the song while looking for context.
I walk along a lonely path
spotlight in my eye
try to make the people laugh
instead of cry
I hang myself out on the edge
for the world to see
let them know this funny guy
is really me
and anything for a good time
I've always taken that path
anything for a good time
anything for a laugh
I ride the greyhounds across the state
a show in every town
I'm not that bad I'm not that great
I'm just your average clown
people think that's my nature
that's how I want to be
but I wonder if it's just a
shield in front of me
and anything for a good time
I've always taken that path
anything for a good time
anything for a laugh
So take a seat there's plenty spare
fill a gaping hole
that's what I do every night
somewhere in my soul
and anything for a good time
I've always taken that path
anything for a good time
anything for a laugh
