Imbecile Lyrics by Mike Batt

Tarot Suite

0

"With the eyes of a fool", he said
"You see the state you're in
And still you stumble through your stupid life
Still you laugh and grin
Vagabond on a winding road
That only leads you down
Blind to the dangers and dismay
That wipe the innocent smile away
From the face of a laughing clown"
"Imbecile, you are acting like a fool again
In a world of thieves all ready to run you down
Imbecile, they are waiting till you make the first mistake
And you're going to make it
That's why I'll always call you an Imbecile"
"You weren't always a sorcerer"
The Joker then replied
"It seems to me you learned it on the way
You live by tricks and lies
Standing 'round in your juggler's gown
There seems no reason why
Flashing your eyes and casting spells
With candles and signs and magic bells
Oh, you are the fool, not I"
"Imbecile, you can call me that if you feel the need
But life is short and I am living it while I can
If it rains, I'll get wet but in the sunshine I'll be dry
It is you who are foolish
Just 'cause I laugh don't call me an Imbecile
"We both are right" said the sorcerer
"And both of us are wrong
For though we walk this road we don't know where it leads
We only know it's long
You have something to learn from me
And I can learn from you
You with your jokes and simple plans
And me with my tricks and sleight of hands
Together we could get through"
"Imbeciles, we are dancing down a darkened road
Though the stars are out, not one of us knows the way
Imbeciles up ahead of us and millions more behind
And we're laughing and smiling
That's why I say we're all of us Imbeciles"
