About

I am the painted child, the maker of confusion
With rainbows in my hair and magic on my face.
A phantom of the street, an optical illusion
Who hears a different beat, who runs a different race.

I am the painted child, I am the mischief maker;
The beggar at the feast, the fiddler at the ball.
I know the words of songs, I am the Sabbath-breaker;
The caller in the night, the writing on the wall.

The name on the wall, is me
The cry in the dark, is me.
The mark of the child, I sign.
The name on the wall...

I am the painted child; the child who is a stranger,
And those who once came near now turn and walk away.
And everywhere is fear and everywhere is danger.
These are the masks we wear. These are the parts we play.

I am the painted child, the choir and the chorus.
I strike upon the drum for funerals and games.
And others there have come in centuries before us
To fill the world with noise and dance among the flames.

The name on the wall, is me.
The cry in the dark, is me.
The mark of the child, I sign.
The name on the wall...

I am the painted child, the clown and the protester;
A creature of the time and seldom what I seem.
And call me what you will, a renegade or jester,
But still I chill your heart, and still I haunt your dream.

I’ll sing beside your grave, half-minstrel and half-mourner.
I’ll sing of years gone by and bridges never crossed.
I am the painted child who stands on any corner.
I am the child you loved. I am the child you lost.

The name on the wall, is mine.
Look into my face and see-
The strange painted child,
Is me.

Je suis l'enfant dressé
Sur les places publiques
Maquillé par le temps
J'ai cinq siècles et demi
Je connais de la vie
Paroles et musiques
Je fais peur quelquefois
Mais j'ai beaucoup d'amis

Je joue du tambourin
Pour les anniversairs
De ces dieux moribonds
Qui tournent au gré des vents
Que sont l'orgueil, la peur
Ey le désir deplaire
Vieillards, l'âge est venu
D'avoir peur des enfants

L'enfant maquillé
Je suis
Je suis
Je suis
Je suis

Je n'ai pas de parents
Je n'ai pas de patrie
Je parle avec les mains
Pour quelques initiés
Et je sais travestir
Ma sagesse en folie
Pour faire peur aux notaires
Aux prêtres aux épiciers

Je suis né , j'en ai peur,
Dans une cathédrale
A deux pas d'un bordel
Et d'un bain de vapeur
Ne vous étonnez pas
Si j'aime le scandale
Je suis de ces enfants
Dont il faut avoir peur

L'enfant maquillé,
Je suis-
Je suis-
Je suis-
Je suis-..

Un enfant qui ressemble
A vos reves imbeciles,
Ce que vous oubliez
A l'instant du réveil!
Je n'ai pas pour mission
De vous laisser tranquille.
Archange déguisé
Ou diable, c'est pareil.

Que ça vous plaise ou non
Je suis de votre époque
Un enfant maquillé
Qui a beaucoup vécu
Je vous laisse en partant
Mon rire et ma défroque
Je suis l'enfant trouvé
Que vous avez perdu

L'enfant maquillé,
Je suis-
Je suis-
Je suis-
Je suis-
... Perdu.

Happy Birthday!

I sent you this in a PM, but I guess you didn't get it.

Did you want me to give you some gold or buy you something from your wish list?

Ready or not
The years are blurring
Running away
The mind is turning
Skip to the end
To find the meaning
Thoughts are fading
Yet, I wonder, still
