Time ticks by as the story unfolds
All smiles tonight, so let the laughter explode
Half comedy, half killin' spree
My screws are loose, but the joke's on you
'Cause Gotham is burnin' bright
But the show must go on tonight (oh)
So join the parade, turn that frown upside down
While you're screamin' in pain, I'll be laughin' out loud
Singin', "God can't save us"
God can't save us (the joke's on you)
Time ticks by, here's a comical twist
There's a sign in the sky, but it doesn't mean shit
'Cause Gotham's greed's been good to me
The grin will win, here we go again
'Cause Gotham is burnin' bright
But the show must go on tonight (oh)
So join the parade, turn that frown upside down
While you're screamin' in pain, I'll be laughin' out loud
Singin', "God can't save us"
God can't save us (the joke's on you)
People of Gotham, let me be clear
In the dark of the night, it's the Bat you should fear
I have only one question before we ignite
Will you dance with the devil in the pale moonlight?
Born in an acid bath (that's how I got my grin)
I killed his mom and dad (laughter's the best medicine)
Fear me
So join the parade, turn that frown upside down
While you're screamin' in pain, I'll be laughin' out loud
Singin', "God can't save us" (we're laughin' either way)
God can't save us (we're laughin' either way)
God can't save us (one, two, one, two, three, come on!)
Time ticks by as the story unfolds
All smiles tonight, so let the laughter explode
Half comedy, half killin' spree
My screws are loose, but the joke's on you
