I woke up and I came to a beautiful realization,
this world is a pathetically funny place
filled with jokers and clowns.
And everything that's happening is a puppet show
we're like motorists doing stunts
to earn our daily bread.
Life's truly a circus,
I'd admit too
And then abracadabra,
magic again
I realized that I should be my own ringmaster
or else I'll end up like the lion in the cage
fierce but helpless.
With all these puppet shows around
all I have to tell you is be a human
and live life the crazy way.
Realizing this,I decided to fall asleep
and thus landed in a more sane world
