I fool around, I joke and I jest.
But put my happiness to the test.
It's mostly an act, like part of a play.
It's helps me pass the time of day.
No stage needed, no lights to glow.
Just funny me in my one man show.
My true feelings, I've learnt to hide.
Nobody knows what's really inside.
From this pretence, I try to break free.
But the jester has long taken over me.
