All alone in a crowded room
He tries to force a smile
The smile it beamed or so it seemedBut never reached the eyes, disguise
Masquerading as the funny man do they despiseThe false smile maketh of the manGlass empty or half full
Try to make some sense or sorrows drown
All looks well on the outside
Underneath the solemn truthThere's something that inside has died
Tomorrow comes tomorrow goes
But the cloud remains the same
Wonder why he's feeling downTears of a clown
Maybe it's all just for the best
Lay his weary head to rest
Was forever feeling drowned
Tears of a clownWho motivates the motivatorFacade it has to go
He knows it sooner or laterSmile for cameras all okBut tomorrow is another day he must get throughHe 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 clownTomorrow 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.
