Verse: 
Last to know, we play the jokers in this minstrel show

Nothing left here that we should fear, I suppose.

Verse: 
From the cradle to the grave all the memories never saved 
Nothing here that we should fear so I'm told. 
As the night slips away and we stumble towards another day 
there's nothing more that we can say, i suppose.
