All his life he did his best for all
And the crown of laughter hanging low
The spotlight in the ring
The [bad word] that sing
The paint and masquerade was just a show

The clown - the clown
Happiness around
Just a soul lonely in the crowd
The clown - the clown
His heart is all alone
No one wants the tears of a clown

The living of the glory and applause
The circus tent, the only home he knows
The cover-up is bold,
The mask [bad word] cold
It's easier to let the eyelids close

The final curtain falls for all to see
The final score, the circus melody
His star that shone so bright,
 [bad word] in the night
The light that always held him set him free
