Lyrics:
I was once a rodeo clown
Working in a circus all around
I once was stationed on a circus top (a circus top)
Who put me there?
I said who put me there?
Who put me there?
I didn't ask to be there

Hit the road once again
But this time on my terms
Put my nose on again
But this time on my terms

I met a traveling lady
In a country show
I showed her my tricks
I showed her my nose
She told me she loved me
She told me to never go
Goddamn what a fool I've become
I'm just a clown

Well I've been watching you
Well I've been searching so long for you
I said to her
And she broke my heart anyway

When are you going to call me?
Were you ever so scared?
So scared as I see you now?
Standing above her
My shadow over her terrified face
She's pleading for her life
She's pleading for her sanity
But how could I return
Something that was taken so long ago
I'm just a clown

What have I done?
As I gaze into the face
Of the one that I love
As I gaze into the pale white face
What have I done?
As I gaze into the face
Of the one that I love

What have I done?
As I gaze into the face
As I gaze into my own face
Covered in paint and blood
Covered in paint
Covered in blood
As my smile fades
As my smile fades away

I'm on the run
They will never find where I am

Maybe it's time
For me to go
Maybe I'll take this overgrown tie
And wrap it around my neck

Maybe it's time
For me to go
Take this overgrown striped tie
Wrap it around my neck
