Song language: English
Dear Madam Barnum |
| I put on a fake smile |
| And start the evening show |
| The public is laughing |
| I guess by now they know |
| So climb from your high horse |
| And pull this freak show down |
| Dear Madam Barnum |
| I resign as clown |
| You said I was the master |
| Of all I surveyed |
| But now I’m sweeping up |
| The last in line in your circus parade |
| Children are clapping |
| As I fall to the floor |
| My heart torn and broken |
| And they just scream for more |
| If I’m not the sole fool |
| Who pulls his trousers down |
| Then dear Madam Barnum |
| I resign as clown |
| You tread the high wire |
| Between truth and lies |
| Your safety net just walked out |
| Much to your surprise |
| Strike up the band love |
| And let the show begin |
| For this is the last time |
| I’m painting on a grin |
| If I’m not the sole fool |
| Who pulls his trousers down |
| Then dear Madam Barnum |
| I resign as clown |
| I resign as clown |
| I resign as clown |
