THE COMEDIANS

ROY ORBISON

Lyrics and music:Elvis Costello

Capo III

Key:

I sat there al one upon the ferris wheel

a pastel colored carriage in the air

I thought you'd leave me dangling for a little while

a silly twist up on a childish dare

Be low I saw you whispering to an other 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

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 comedi ans

I can hardly hear the music from the carousel

the wind picks up, the carriage starts sway

as one by one the lights go out it's closing time

I see you take his hand and walk away, walk a way

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

and I 'm up while the d awn is breaking

even though my heart is aching

G#dim7

I should be drinking a toast

to absent friends

instead of these comedi ans
