Standard (EADGBE)

 My whole life it is misery

 My whole life it is grief

 The face-paint it just hides my soul

 My life is a deceit

 My makeup lies redundant now

Between my canvas walls

The lip rouge and the face-paint

 Are no longer on call

 And my photographs

They're all fading fast

The children are all adults now

 And their memories did not last

Well, no one really laughed at me

 Just a clown who is now dead

 And my suicide, my suicide,

My suicide note read:

 My life it was a misery

 My life it was all grief

 And the face-paint hides my soul

 My life is a deceit

 Well, the blood has darkened now

 Upon my suicide note

 And I lie in my paupers grave

Along with my cut throat

 And my whole life it was misery

 And my whole life it was grief

 And the face-paint it just hides my soul

 My whole life was a deceit
