Template:The Comedians (demo)

I sat there alone on the Ferris wheel

A pastel couloured carriage in the air

I thought you'd leave me dangling for a minute or two

A silly twist upon a childish dare

Below I saw you whispering to another man

Who held the lever that could bring me down

He'd stop the world from turning at your command

It's always something cruel that laughter drowns

Chorus:

And I'm up while the dawn is breaking

Even though my heart is aching

I should be drinking a toast to absent friends

Instead of these comedians

I can hardly hear the music of the carousel

As the wind picks up the carriage starts to sway

As one by one the lights go out, it's closing time

I see you take his hand and walk away

Walk away

They say that you will always be the last to know

They say that all that glitters is not gold

It's not just that you're never coming back to me

It's the bitter way that I was told

(Repeat Chorus)
