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
