lyrics

I’ve been working in no circus, but it seems that somehow
I used to feed on smiles and sweet laughing sound
The clown is no longer around

My big shoes I have hung on nails of sober rust
My red nose in a drawer I locked and run out fast
The clown is no longer around

My jokes I kneel and bury in cemeteries at night
And for my clothes of colours sad beggars only fight
A grey suit now I’m wearing, a white shirt and a tie
I never smile at strangers, I make your children cry
The clown is no longer around

My neighbors they dislike me, they laugh behind my back
The say I’m a loser and wait until I crack
I’m sleeping in my closet, I get along with pills
To get away from nightmares, not even daylight kills
The clown is no longer around

My clownish past is fading, I feel normal, almost clean
Still looking for ways of removing the white paint from my skin
My face forever maked up, betrays a shameful past
Ridiculously showing and stained by thick blue dust
The clown is no longer around
