There's a circus in town, and in the spotlight tonight I'm gonna fall to the ground without a sound
Like a bird in a cage, you remember my face A sad-eyed, sad-eyed rock and roll clown
So strike up the band, for this tiny man Here I am, a rock and roll clown
Oh, look at me, my friends
Here I am, a rock and roll clown And here we go again
Hee-haw, hee-haw, hee-haw, hee-haw, hee-haw, hee-haw, hee-haw
I can play my guitar like a s-s-superstar Without any strings like all the r-r-r-kings
I have a bad magazine in my washing machine And my heart never breaks cause my nose is a vein
Oh, in the spotlight tonight I'm gonna fly like a kite
Here I am, a rock and roll clown Oh, look at me, my friends
Here I am, a rock and roll clown And here we go again
Hee-haw, hee-haw, hee-haw, hee-haw, hee-haw, hee-haw, hee-haw
Black and white isn't always right There's always something between the lines
At the end of the scene the stage can be such a lonely place Whether you're by your own to be or not to be
That's the question
What's the name of the game? Am I climbing to fame? Or is this just a joke with a joke who is pro?
When the curtain is down and the circus leads down There is no one around to see the sad-eyed clown
But strike up the band for this tiny man
Here I am, a rock and roll clown Oh, look at me, my friends
Here I am, a rock and roll clown And here we go again
Here I am, a rock and roll clown And here we go again
Hee-haw, hee-haw, hee-haw, hee-haw, hee-haw, hee-haw, hee-haw
