Pierrot Lunaire - Theatres Des Vampires

A nameless clown without a mask

A whiter face behind a tear

There is no red nose to wear

It’s just me, pierrot lunaire

Why don’t you smile?

Why don’t you smile?

Ignored by the crowd passing by

I’m giving you all that I can

Please just laugh once for me

So I ripped my heart

From my chest for your smile

A black heart on a white floor

So I ripped my heart from my chest for your smile

Please just laugh once for me

So I painted a smile on my face

Dipping fingers in my blood

Look, it’s for you from your heartless clown

Does this grin make me droll now

Why don’t you smile, why don’t you smile?

But they left me alone,

I’m giving you all that I can

There’s nobody laughing for me
