PierrotLet me be your lover,I will want no other,Hand me the scriptAnd I will gladly play your slave.Run your stare right through meHand your burdens to me,I'll play your PierrotAny given day.Stand just out of reach,Clinging like a leech,At least I would,If I could ever pierce your skin.Keep me in your trance,Pretend I have a chance,Just promise that you'll never let me win.And I will play the foolI've always been.
