The Comedians Lyrics - Mystery Girl - Roy Orbison

I sat there alone upon the ferris wheel 

A pastel colored carriage in the air 

I thought you'd leave me dangling for a little while 

A silly twist upon a childish dare 

Below I saw you whispering to another man 

Who held the lever that could bring me down 

He'd stop the world from turning at your command 

It's always something cruel that laughter drowns 

And I'm up while the dawn is breaking 

Even though my heart is aching 

I should be drinking a toast 

To absent friends 

Instead of these comedians

I can hardly hear the music from the carousel 

The wind picks up, the carriage starts sway 

As one by one the lights go out 

It's closing time 

I see you take his hand and walk away 

Walk away 

They say that you will always be the last to know 

They say that all that glitters is not gold 

It's not just that you're never coming back to me 

It's the bitter way that I was told 

Photos 

And I'm up while the dawn is breaking 

Even though my heart is aching 

I should be drinking a toast 

To absent friends 

Instead of these comedians
