Said The Joker To The Thief

"There must be some kind of way out of here,"
Said the joker to the thief.

thief:
You and I have always known.

joker:
But why did we never go?

thief:
Must be a reason, I wouldn't grieve.

joker:
Are you always this naive?

thief:
You know me better than I myself.

joker:
Can't help but doubt that.

thief:
Put your doubts aside,
Sit down, and enjoy the silence.

joker:
What the hell am I doin' here?
I don't belong here.

thief:
Is it so? Then you better leave.
But where you go, I will be.

joker:
There's too much confusion,
I can't get nooooooo relief.

"No reason to get excited,"
The thief he kindly spoke.

joker:
So many years've gone by,
Oh men start, dig my earth,
None of them along the line,
Know what any of it's worth.

"No reason to get excited,"
The thief he kindly spoke.

joker:
Excitment is faaar from what I feel,
can't you tell my dear thief?

thief:
Just cherish this, the air you breath,
can't we just live and be?

joker:
There are many among us,
Who feel that life is but a joke.

thief:
Ha-ha ha-ha.

joker:
But you and I, we've been through all that,
And this is not our fate.
So let us not talk falsly now,
The hour is getting late.
