<intro>
The lights went out, the sky went gray,
But I still laugh — I fade away.
Ha-ha-ha-ha... *<laugh>*
Ash and dust where children played,
The echoes hum the songs I made.
<verse>
No more crowds, no more cheers,
Just empty seats and ringing ears.
Hee-hee-hee! *<laugh>*
The tent collapsed, the ropes are torn,
Yet every night I’m still reborn.
Ha-ha-ha! *<laugh>*
The moon remembers, she still cries,
She knows that laughter never dies.
<chorus>
Laughter never dies, it lingers in the wind,
Ha-ha-ha-ha! *<laugh>*
The joke goes on — it never ends.
Even when the clown is gone,
The echo keeps the act in song.
<verse>
The mirrors hum beneath the ground,
My voice still spins that ghostly sound.
Hee-hee-hee-ha! *<laugh>*
The carousel moans soft and slow,
Each turn’s a grave for what I know.
Ha-ha-ha-ha! *<laugh>*
You’ll hear me laugh when midnight calls,
Between the tents, behind the walls.
<bridge>
I’m not here, but I’m not gone,
Every breath repeats my song.
Ha-ha-ha-ha! *<laugh>*
The paint has cracked, the mask decayed,
But in your dreams — I’ve stayed.
Hee-hee-hee! *<laugh>*
<chorus>
Laughter never dies, it lingers in the wind,
Ha-ha-ha-ha! *<laugh>*
The joke goes on — it never ends.
Even when the clown is gone,
The echo keeps the act in song.
<breakdown>
(whispered)
When you smile too wide, that’s me.
When you laugh too long, that’s me.
Hee-hee-hee-ha-ha-ha! *<laugh>*
I’m the air between your screams,
The laughter in your dreams.
Ha-ha-ha-ha-ha-ha! *<laugh>*
<outro>
The night folds shut, the stars all hide,
Hee-hee-hee! *<laugh>*
I’m still here — just on the other side.
Ha-ha-ha-ha! *<laugh>*
Laughter never dies, it multiplies.
The clown still smiles — behind your eyes.
