"Anything For A Laugh" lyrics - GRAHAM PARKER

I walk along a lonely path
Spotlight in my eye
Try to make the people laugh
Instead of cry

I hang myself out on the edge
For the world to see
Let them know this funny guy
Is really me

And anything for a good time
I've always taken that path
Anything for a good time
Anything for a laugh

I ride the Greyhounds across the state
A show in every town
I'm not that bad, I'm not that great
I'm just your average clown

People think that's my nature
That's how I want to be
But I wonder if it's just a
Shield in front of me

And anything for a good time
I've always taken that path
Anything for a good time
Anything for a laugh

So take a seat there's plenty spare
Fill a gaping hole
That's what I do every night
Somewhere in my soul

And anything for a good time
I've always taken that path
Anything for a good time
Anything for a laugh
