The Mad Jester

[Verse] Serious suit badge so bright Once fought evil in the night Now a jester wild and free In New Orleans streets you'll see [Verse 2] Mardi Gras the masks conceal Madness in the moonlight's thrill Bells a-jingle laugh so loud Once a cop who wore a shroud [Chorus] Laughter echoes down the street Evil shadows he must meet From the badge to jesters face In this crazy Mardi space [Verse 3] Painted smile hides his frown Twirling in the festive town Eyes that glint with shadow's gleam Chasing nightmares in a dream [Verse 4] Confetti falls like justice blind Once he fought for humankind Now a trickster in the crowd Bringing light where doom is loud [Bridge] Underneath the jester's jest Beats the heart that once was blessed Madness whispers in his ear Yet his courage conquers fear
