[Verse 1]
Life is a clown; I always hold the absurdity in my hands
How many cheers are there to be won?
If you go all-out playing the fool, you’re the best in the land
A routine played out every single night
Under the flickering glow of fluorescent lights
Before I knew it, only my knees were laughing

[Verse 2]
At this point where I’m pushed to the limit
A golden opportunity swoops in tonight
A hand reaches out from a raspy throat
My heart is pounding—beat it
A sudden twist in the prime-time spotlight
Turn it up, turn it up—it’s still not enough
“I want to make them laugh one more time”

[Chorus]
A single, decisive strike
Tonight, I’m going straight to the top
Did I ever say “I give up”?
No, no, no, no, no
I take the hits but I won’t go down—nanana
Tonight, I’m going straight to the top
A chaotic battle where I barely escape with my life
Everyone, everyone, everyone, everyone—watch this
I take the hits but I won’t go down; it’s not over yet
This life of mine is still very much alive
