SAD CLOWN

say how's the weather
so i look out the window
to brighten my soul
but i can't control
the rain that keeps falling
smile on the outside
that never comes in
a comedy, mystery, irony, tragedy
so i scream
let the show begin


you break me open
turn on the light
stumble inside
with me, with me

do i entertain you
do i preoccupy you
with my wit
to cover this lie
are you mesmerized
do you think me faithful
do you think me a clown
i picked out this shirt
i put on this hat
i wore all this paint
just for you
