The Cosmic Comedian Lyrics

The Cosmic Comedian

He wakes up in the morning, lathers up his chin

The razor's edge is dull, he nicks himself again

He rushes to the elevator, presses the seventh floor

The boss and that promotion will come through today, he's sure

Sorry, old man

I hope you understand

You're just a victim of the times we're living in

Cosmic comedian,

It's the cosmic comedian

The cosmic comedian is playing tricks again

He walks down his local pub, sits down at the bar

The woman of his dreams brushes gently against his arm

They talk and drink and share some laughs; he takes her to his sted

She stumbles out the bathroom door, vomits on his bed

Sorry, my love

I'm feeling rather poor

She grabs her coat and phone

And hurries out the door

Cosmic comedian

It's the cosmic comedian

Cosmic comedian

It's the cosmic comedian

The cosmic comedian playing tricks again

The news anchor smiles and says, "Your life's about to change"

You bought the winning lotto ticket, your lucky numbers paid

He struts on bye the TV crew, smiles and says she's right

He books a trip to the Maldives on a doomed and fatal flight

Sorry, old man

I hope you understand

Even the Gods amuse themselves

Sorry, old man

I hope you understand

Even the Gods amuse themselves

Sorry, old man

I hope you understand

Even the Gods amuse themselves every now and then

Cosmic comedian

It's the cosmic comedian

Cosmic comedian

It's the cosmic comedian

The cosmic comedian playing tricks again
