about

Music and Lyrics by Laurel Thomsen. Additional musical arrangements by Dan Frechette.

lyrics

There's no room for the jester
in the house upon the hill
He wanders through our dreams
Not quite what he seems
Shadows paint pictures
Across a frozen land
Clocks tick tock
Where beauty never stands

Slow down, slow down, Sally
Fess up, fess up, Freddie
Back down, back down, Billy
It's too late when you're dead

The jester's counting hours
in all the streets below
He tries to get a rise
Trying to surprise
Couples take to marching
Gathering more things
So many tied together
But only by their rings

There's no room for the jester
In the house upon the hill
His picture's fading fast
In storybooks of the past
To the edge of time we're rovin'
We might fall right off the end
Exploding like a dream
The joy we forgot to spend
