The Clown Song

They call me the clown I can juggle while I?m spinning round Take all the dark clouds away With a well rehearsed display The spotlights on me And everybody wants the clown to be The one who laughs at the world They think I?m their funny girl With a painted on smile And laughter like a shield When it hurts the most I make a joke to hide the way I feel Nobody wants you when you?re down But everyone loves a clown I balance between The truth and what lies hidden up my sleeve And when it all gets too hard I just play the joker card Another curtain call Another routine where I did it all Every trick and surprise To keep my thin disguise A painted on smile And laughter like a shield When it hurts the most I make a joke to hide the way I feel Nobody wants you when you?re down But everyone loves a clown Did you hear the one about the girl Who hid inside her circus world? Now she wonders what it?s all for Coz it?s not funny anymore Painted on smile And laughter like a shield When it hurts the most I make a joke to hide the way I feel Nobody wants you when you?re down But everyone loves a clown Everyone loves a clown
