Comedian - Devon Welsh

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»
