Lady Gaga - Harlequin Album Lyrics

Here we are together
I've loved you from afar
I've stayed up dreaming all night long
One day, you would have my heart
One day, she would have your heart

Good morning, good morning
Been up the whole night through
Good morning, good morning to you
Good morning, good morning
It's great to stay up late
Good morning, good morning to you

When the inmates began to sing
The stars were shining bright
Now, the morning's on its way
And it's too late to say goodnight

So good morning, good morning
You're from the (?) through
Good morning, good morning to you
Good morning, morning
Good morning, good morning

Good morning, good morning
Bang-bang, you're black and blue
Good morning, good morning to you
Nothing could be greater than to be in Louisiana
In the morning, in the morning
You're back behind the gate, good morning
Good morning to you
I'd be just as iffy if I was in Mississippi

When we left the movie show, the future wasn't far
But came the dawn, the show was on and I don't wanna say goodnight
So say, good morning, good morning
Rainbows are shinin' through
Good morning, good morning to you
Oh, good morning, good morning to you (to you)

Hallelujah, Hallelujah
All you sinners, gather round
Hallelujah, Hallelujah
All you sinners, I have found
A land where the weary forever are free
Come you sinners and just follow me

Forget your troubles, come on, get happy
You better chase all your cares away
Sing Hallelujah, come on, get happy
Get ready for the judgment day
The sun is shining, come on, get happy
The Lord is waiting to take your hand
Sing Hallelujah, come on, get happy
Get through or to the promised land

We're heading 'cross the river
Wash your sins away in the tide
It's oh, so peaceful on the other side

Forget your troubles, come on, get happy
You better chase all your cares away
Sing Hallelujah, come on, get happy
Get ready for the judgment day
You call the doctor, he says, "Get happy"
When your delusions are getting low
You had a drink, now you're feeling happy
And I'm waiting on your afterglow
You hit your head on the roof, get happy
It rung, you blew, you forgot your blues
'Cause I'll be smiling, yeah, babe, I'm happy
Your inhibitions cut me loose

A fever or a flu
Can't compete with a silly bean
If this guy can lose
What's it matter if you win?

So many troubles, but you're so happy
You keep on dancing to find your way
You're such a marvel, come on, get happy
You're shining on your judgment day

Sing Hallelujah, come on, get happy

We're wading 'cross the river
Wash your sins away in the tide
It's oh, so peaceful on the other side

Forget your troubles, come on, get happy
You better take all your cares away
Sing Hallelujah, come on, get happy
Get ready for the judgment, for the judgment day

Oh, when the saints go marchin' in
Oh, when the saints go marchin' in
Lord, I want to be in that number
When the saints go marchin' in

Oh, on that day they called my name
I took a breath and then I prayed
Oh, how I wanna sing with the angels
When the saints do their parade

I talked to God about my heart
The devil played something inside
Oh, I would love to dance up in heaven
When the saints go play their part

The sky went dark, I fell apart
Fell to my knees, I cried so hard
But then I said goodbye to my children
Hoping they can meet me far

Oh, when the saints go marchin' in
Oh, when the saints go marchin' in
Lord, I want to be in that number
When the saints go marchin' in

I've got the world on a string
Sittin' on a rainbow
Got that string around my finger
Lucky me, can't you see
Can't you see I'm in love? Love

I've got a song that I sing
I can make the rain go
Anytime I move my finger
Lucky me, can't you see
Can't you see I'm in love? Love

Life is a beautiful thing
As long as I hold that string
I'd be a silly so-and-so
If I should ever let you go

I've got the world on a string
And I'm sittin' on a rainbow
Got that string around my finger
Lucky me

Can't you see, can't you see I'm in love?
Can't you see, can't you see I'm in love? Love, love
Can't you see, can't you see I'm in love? Love, love
Can't you see, can't you see I'm in love? Ooh, ooh
Can't you see, can't you see I'm in love? Ooh, ooh
Can't you see, can't you see I'm in love?

If they could see me now
That little gang of mine
I'm lookin' at your smile and it's a healthy sign
I'd like those stumble bumps to see for a fact
The kind of top draw, first rate charm I attract

All I can say is, wow
Just look at where I am
Tonight I've landed, pow
Right in a pot of jam

What a setup, holy cow
They'd never believe it
If my friends could see me now

If they could see me now
That little dusty group
Traipsin' 'round this million dollar chicken coop
You're rubbin' elbows with the cream of the crop
Whoever said there ain't no room at the top?

To think this famous man
Which I must say is he
Should pick an unknown gal
Which there's no doubt is me

What a setup, wow, holy cow
They'll never believe it
If my friends could see me
If they all could see me
If my friends could see me now

Take a look at me now
Take a look at me now
Take a look at me now

Everything that happens in life
Can happen in a show
You can make 'em laugh, you can make 'em cry
Anything, anything can go

The clown with his pants fallin' down
Oh, the dance, that's a dream of romance
Oh, the scene where the villain is mean
That's entertainment

The lights on the lady in tights
Or the bride with a guy on the side
Or the ball where she gives it a roll
That's entertainment

The plot can be hot, simply teeming with sex
A gay divorcee who is after her ex
It can be Oedipus Rex
Where a chap kills his mother and causes a lot of bother

The clerk who is thrown out of work
By the boss who is thrown for a loss
By the skirt who is doing him dirt
The world is a stage
The stage is a world of entertainment

That's entertainment
That's entertainment

The doubt while the jury is out
Or the thrill when they're reading the will
Or the chase for the man with the face
That's entertainment
No death like you get in MacBeth
No ordeal like the end of Camille
This goodbye brings a tear to the eye
That's entertainment

Admit it's a hit and we'll go on from there
We played a charade that was lighter than air
A good old-fashioned affair
As I sing this finale I hope it's up your alley

The gag may be wearing a flag
That began with a mystical hand
Hip hooray, the American way
The world is a stage
The stage is a world of entertainment

Smile though your heart is aching
Smile even though it's breaking
When there are clouds in the sky
You'll get by

If you smile through your fear and sorrow
Smile and maybe tomorrow
You'll see the sun come shining through
For you

Light up your face with gladness
Hide every trace of sadness
Although a tear
May be ever so near

That's the time you must keep on trying
Smile, what's the use of crying?
You'll find that life is still worthwhile
If you'll just smile

Souriez, même si votre cœur se brise
Quand il y a des nuages dans le ciel
Vous vous en sortirez
Si vous souriez
Souriez, souriez
Je vous adore

That's the time you must keep on trying
Smile, what's the use of crying?
You'll find that life is still worthwhile
If you'll just smile

There's always a joker in the pack
There's always a lonely clown
The poor laughing fool falls on his back
And everyone laughs when he's down

There's always a funny man in the game
But he's only funny by mistake
And everyone laughs at him just the same
They don't see his lonely heart break

They don't care as long as there is a jester
Just a fool, as foolish as he can be
There's always a joker, that's the rule
But fate deals the hand that I see

The joker is me, the joker is me
The joker is me, the joker is me
The joker is me

Drink the poison 'cause there's always a loser in the game
The court loves to watch them cry
The royal shouts, this Queen needs to sing
To ruffle the scene of the crime

The King wears a funny suit, he's a clown
The crown rumbles with the roars
And everyone watches as he declines
The Queen pierces him with a sword

I don't care as long as there's a wild man
In the deck, as long as I see his frown
Then I won't be lonely, that's a fact
I stand here and wait for his sword

The joker is me, the joker is me
The joker is me, the joker is me
The joker is me
The joker is me
The joker is me

Take my hand, stay here, my friend
I'll find my way back to you
Here and now, I knew somehow
We'd tell a story that's true

In our minds, we'd be just fine
If it were only us two
They might say that we're crazy
But I'm just in love with you

I know where we're going, know where we're going
And it's a heaven
An island for when we'll both settle in, a paradise

Ah, ah-ah, ah-ah-ah-ah
Ah-ah-ah-ah-ah-ah
Ah, ah-ah, ah-ah-ah-ah
Ah-ah-ah-ah-ah-ah

In our minds, we'd be just fine
If it were only us two
They might say that we're crazy
But I'm just in love with, you're so in love with
Insane in love with you

One, two, three, a two, two

Gonna build a mountain
From a little hill
Gonna build me a mountain
'Least I hope I will
Gonna build a mountain
Gonna build it high
I don't know how I'm gonna do it
Only know I'm gonna try

Gonna build me a daydream from a little hope
Gonna push that daydream up the mountain slope
Gonna build a daydream, gonna see it through
Gonna build a mountain and a daydream
Gonna make 'em both come true

Gonna build me a heaven from a little hell
Gonna build me a heaven and I know darn well
That if I build my mountain, oh, yeah, with a lot of care
I'll take our daydream up the mountain
And heaven will be waitin' there

Oh, yeah
Oh, yeah
Yeah, yeah, yeah

When I build that heaven as I will someday
And the Lord sends Gabriel to take me away
Ah, what a fine young son to take my place
I need a son in a heaven on earth
With the good Lord's grace

Why do birds suddenly appear
Every time you are near?
Just like me, they long to be
Close to you
Why do stars fall down from the sky
Every time you walk by?
Just like me, they long to be
Close to you

On the day that you were born, the angels got together
And decided to create a dream come true
So they sprinkled moon dust in your hair
A golden starlight in your eyes of blue

That is why (that's why)
All the girls in town (girls in town)
Follow you (follow you)
All around (all around)
Just like me, they long to be
Close to you

On the day that you were born, the angels got together
And decided to create a dream come true
So they sprinkled moon dust in your hair
A golden starlight in your eyes of blue, ooh, ooh

That is why (that is why)
All the girls in town (girls in town)
Follow you (follow you)
All around (all around)
Just like me, they long to be
So close to you
Oh, just like me, they long to be
So close to you

Just like me, they long to be
So close to you

I'm acting in this play of
Comedy with tragic words
The audience was smiling
Cheering on a scene absurd

I can try to hide behind the makeup
But the show must go on

I feel so crazy
My head is filled with broken mirrors
So many, I can't look away
I'm in a bad way
If I could fix the broken pieces
Then I'd have a happy mistake

A lonely disposition
Portraits of a strung-out girl
How'd I get so addicted
To the love of the whole world?

I could try to hide behind the makeup
But the show must go on

I feel so crazy
My head is filled with broken mirrors
So many I can't look away
I'm in a bad way
If I could fix the broken pieces
Then I'd have a happy mistake

If I could buy a happy sunny day
So brilliantly
It'd wash away the sad mistakes
I could hold my heart in a safe place
All I need to breathe
Is one happy mistake
Make my happy mistake

That's life (that's life)
That's what people say
You're ridin' high in April
Shot down in May
But I know I'm gonna change their tune
When I'm back on top in June, oh

That's life (that's life)
Funny as it seems
Some people get their kicks just steppin' on a dream
But I don't let it get me down
'Cause this whole world keeps spinning around

I've been a puppet, a pauper, a pirate, a poet
A pawn and a queen
I've been up and down and over and out
But I know one thing
Each time I find myself flat on my face
I pick myself up and get back in the race

That's life (that's life)
I can't deny it
I've thought of quitting, but my heart just won't buy it
If I didn't think it was worth a try
I'd roll myself up in a big ball and die

I've been a puppet, a pauper
A pawn and a queen
I've been up and down
But I know one thing
Each time I find myself flat on my face
I just pick myself up and get back in the race

That's life (that's life)
I can't deny it
I've thought of quitting, but my heart just won't buy it
If I didn't think it was worth a try
I'd roll myself up in a big ball and die
