Pierrot
It’s all right
It’s all right
I’m only playing fool
The nameless clown that I am
Don’t worry
Don’t worry
What I do is my job
The white faced pierrot that I am
Don’t make that face
Don’t make that face
I saw you crying in the crowd
When I was face down in the dirt
It doesn’t’ hurt
It doesn’t hurt
Please laugh for me
Laugh at me the clumsy clown
Please stop
Please stop
Don’t give me that sad look
It pierces through my heart
Making it hard to do my job
Please stop
Please stop
Your lies make me sad
I can’t stand them any more
Nothing’s wrong
Nothing’s wrong
I’m merely a clumsy clown
Bouncing around
I’ve never lied to you
Don’t cry
Don’t cry
Every single word I say
Makes you cry again
Look at me
Look at me
I’ll prove it to you now
I’m just a clown
Please laugh at me
Stop it
Stop it
Stop hurting yourself
You’re lying again
Please show
Please show
Show the world your true face
Remove your white, smiling mask
Watch me
Watch me
You see me up high
Balancing on the rope
See me bounce above
Come down
Come down
You’re lying again
You’ll get hurt
Don’t hide
Don’t hide
Your face my lying clown
Don’t be afraid to show the world
What you really feel
I’m falling
I’m falling
Your voice reminded me
Of what I’d locked away
And then I slipped
Down I go
Down I go
Watch the falling clown
Please laugh just once for me
The smiling pierrot
You run to me
You run to me
Lying on the ground
You ignore the laughing crowd
You’re crying again
You hold me close
You hold me close
I close my eyes because
I don’t want to see your tears
Please don’t cry
It’s all right
It’s all right
Don’t be afraid to cry
It’s fine if you don’t
As long as you don’t lie
Look at me
Look at me
Tell me what you see
I’m not hiding from anything
It doesn’t hurt
It doesn’t hurt
I, the pierrot try to smile
But I found my mask of white
Has washed away
It’s all right
It’s all right
Tears leak from my eyes
Don’t you cry no more
Smile for your pierrot
See
See
You’ve found for me my face
You rid me of my mask
I’m myself once again
It’s okay
It’s okay
Close your eyes my clown
Don’t suffer any more
My lying pierrot
Like a charm
Like a charm
The pierrot’s eyes fall shut just as she smiles
The lying pierrot
Is no more
