The Laughing Man

[Spoken]
Good afternoon ladies and gentlemen
I would like volunteers from the audience
To help blindfold this...

When he was boy
He sat in the back
And hid behind
His smiles

His hands were clasped
His back was straight
His feelings kept
In files

And all the while
He wore his mask
And never made a peep

Before he let
The tears befall
He'd fall fast asleep

The Laughing Man
He'd trick us all
Nobody sees him weep

He lived by the lake
Alonе with his dog
In his dirty yellow house

He'd writе in his book
In his tall thinking tree
He'd write and write for hours

And all the while
He wore his mask
And never made a peep

Before he let
The tears befall
He'd fall fast asleep

The Laughing Man
He'd trick us all
Nobody sees him weep

[Interlude]

He ran through the fields
Through the thorns and the mud
And kept his world from worry

He'd clean all his cuts
By the rock on the shore
He never told his story

And all the while
He wore his mask
And never made a peep

Before he let
The tears befall
He'd fall fast asleep

The Laughing Man
He'd trick us all
Nobody sees him weep

Before he let
The tears befall
He'd fall fast asleep

The Laughing Man
He'd trick us all
Nobody sees him weep

Before he let
The tears befall
He'd fall fast asleep

The Laughing Man
He'd trick us all
Nobody sees him weep
