Lyrics
The Joker At The Gate
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.
People function, dreaming their dreams.
People function, scheming their schemes
People function, trusting to fate
Looking for the Joker, but it's too late
Is there still a moment somewhere
That will surprise us with its tricks?
I am the holder of seven dreams
Faceless possessor of all life's schemes
Through me you can laugh in the face of fate
I am the Joker at your gate
