Tears of a Clown

All alone in a crowded room

He tries to force a smile

The smile it beamed or so it seemed

But never reached the eyes, disguise

Masquerading as the funny man do they despise

The false smile maketh of the man

Glass empty or half full

Try to make some sense or sorrows drown

All looks well on the outside

Underneath the solemn truth

There’s something that inside has died

Tomorrow comes tomorrow goes

But the cloud remains the same

Wonder why he’s feeling down

Tears of a clown

Maybe it’s all just for the best

Lay his weary head to rest

Was forever feeling drowned

Tears of a clown

Who motivates the motivator

Facade it has to go

He knows it sooner or later

Smile for cameras all ok

But tomorrow is another day he must get through

He had a longer way to run

Or so the story goes

Life full of fun where did it go

We saw the sadness in his eyes

It came as no surprise

And now of course we’ll never know

Tomorrow comes tomorrow goes

But the cloud remains the same

Wonder why he’s feeling down

Tears of a clown

Maybe it’s all just for the best

Lay his weary head to rest

Was forever feeling drowned

Tears of a clown

Tomorrow comes tomorrow goes

But the cloud remains the same

Wonder why he’s feeling down

Tears of a clown

Maybe it’s all just for the best

Lay his weary head to rest

Was forever feeling down

Tears of a clown

Tears of a clown...
