Pierrot Lunaire

A nameless clown without a mask
 A whiter face behind a tear
 There is no red nose to wear
 It's just me, pierrot lunaire
 Why don't you smile?
 Why don't you smile?
 Ignored by the crowd passing by
 I'm giving you all that I can
 Please just laugh once for me
 So I ripped my heart
 From my chest for your smile
 A black heart on a white floor
 So I ripped my heart from my chest for your smile
 Please just laugh once for me
 So I painted a smile on my face
 Dipping fingers in my blood
 Look, it's for you from your heartless clown
 Does this grin make me droll now
 Why don't you smile, why don't you smile?
 But they left me alone,
 I'm giving you all that I can
 There's nobody laughing for me
