Laughing through the twilight
Where's my comic scene?
I rode through all the trails
I danced beneath the pines
I never stole a moment that wasn't rightly mine
I waited calmly through the climb
But when the spotlight shone
He tipped his hat
And now I sense this aching, deep and vast
It's like a joke that's spread
It's like a chuckle, dead
My laughter's spinning round and round, a merry thread
I'm sort of like a cowboy with a hat misplaced
I know exactly what's at stake
I never saw myself as old
I always dreamed I'd be the one in stories told
And there's no yielding gold
'Cause if I can't have laughs
Then I would be the jester of the night
And the drafts
Now there's a snowflake on my boot
Where the dust used to be
And it's crowning me the king
Being jovial was my craft
But I've been chilled for the last draft
And I won't ever let another winter steal my glee
The frost bites my face, third-degree
Now my breath's steaming hotter than a winter's spree
There's nobody braving this with me
They're gonna slip on the winter's queen
Your shivers are my dream
Just wait until they're caught in my snowy schemes
