King of Slapstick

King Of Slapstick. Claus Hempler Kind welcome to you all Who never come when the master calls I'll bite the sawdust, bow and scrape And serve the punchlines on a plate Your mascara melting in the sun Watching all the secrets come undone We're endlessly in love below the stars So all in all we're perfect as we are It's a circus, I'm your clown Who knows the routine, the ups and downs Who learned lesson number one: To keep a straight face, to overcome The guilt and shame and show no pain While the heart cracks like porcelain Your mascara melting in the sun Watching all the secrets come undone We're endlessly in love below the stars So all in all we 're perfect as we are You want something you can't get In return for what you pay Teach me something I haven't Already learned the hard way Your mascara melting in the sun Watching all the secrets come undone We're endlessly in love below the stars So all in all we're perfect as we are
