"The Jester" lyrics - BADFLOWER

BADFLOWER
"The Jester"

Like a jester at the ball
Rub my shoulders with the kings
I was draped in gold and velvet
Breathing in applause
While I was jumping through the rings

When the cooks would sound a bell
All kings would lick their lips
But I couldn't find a placemat
Dinner table's full
And there's no room for me to sit

[Chorus:]
Is there anybody out there looking out for me?
Just say you want me
Just say you need me
Is there anybody out there looking out for me?

Lord, I live to entertain
All my pride is in my praise
I hum along with this vibration
And hope to God I make it

If any chord that I could strum
Make me feel less like a man
Slam my fingers in their doorway
Shatter all the bones
So I could never strum again

[Chorus:]
Is there anybody out there looking out for me?
Just say you want me
Just say you need me
Is there anybody out there looking out for me?

[Bridge:]
'Cause every last soldier's fucking me over
Tears on their shoes and ice on their shoulders
Is there anybody out there looking out for me?

[Chorus:]
Is there anybody out there looking out for me?
Just say you want me
Just say you need me
Is there anybody out there looking out for me?

[Outro 3x:]
Is every last soul just fucking me over
With tears on their shoes and ice on their shoulders
Is there anybody out there looking out for me?
