| I turned around to see the clown
|
| He made no sound, his face was down
|
| He was crying, dying to laugh another smile
|
| Down the empty avenues
|
| I stood inside his worn-out shoes
|
| I was flying, trying just to come down
|
| The circus crowd, cruel and proud
|
| Existing in the wilderness
|
| Minding their own business, of dying
|
| I turned around and they were gone
|
| I pulled my useless pity on
|
| It was morning, morning so pure and undefiled
|
| Inside my room a healing sea
|
| Nothing here makes sense to me
|
| There’s no warning, wanting just to come down
|
| At great expense, ladies and gents
|
| We bring you the greatest show
|
| You can take it with you when you go, lying
|
| Pretty ugly, pretty sad, pretty helpless, pretty glad
|
| Pretty angry, pretty mad, pretty ugly, pretty sad
|
| So now I wander through the days
|
| I wonder who designed this maze
|
| If it’s unending, sending out some kind of sign
|
| I turned around to see the clown
|
| I should have pulled the mirror down
|
| Now I’m pretending, extending my local in this town
|
| Ladies and gents, at great expense
|
| We bring you the greatest show
|
| Take it with you when you go, lying
|
| Pretty ugly, pretty sad, pretty helpless, pretty bad
|
| Pretty angry, pretty mad, pretty ugly, pretty sad |
