I put on a fake smile
And start the evening show
The public is laughing
I guess by
now they know
So climb from your high horse
And pull this freak show down
Dear Madam
Barnum
I resign as clown
You said I was the master of all I surveyed
But now I'm
sweeping up
The last in line in your circus parade
Children are clapping
As I fall to
the floor
My heart torn and broken
And they just scream for more
If I'm not the sole
fool
Who pulls his trousers down
Then dear Madam Barnum
I resign as clown
You
tread the high wire
Between truth and lies
Your safety net just walked out
Much to
your surprise
Strike up the band love
And let the show begin
For this is the last
time
I'm painting on a grin
If I'm not the sole fool
Who pulls his trousers
down
Then dear Madam Barnum
I resign as clown
