[Verse 1]
I play the clown for you
Entertaining, absurd hue
As I watch them laugh, I'd love to
See them clap and dance to my tune
[Chorus]
Blowing up like a red giant
Expansive, a star
And I'm coming to burn this down
And laugh my ass off
[Post-Chorus]
All my children
Sing it again and again
'Cause a lie ain't a lie
If you're winnin' 'em over
Amen
[Verse 2]
I act on stage up here
Toying with your own fears
Misdirection, I'm so near
Simple sleight of hand, in the clear
[Chorus]
Blowing up like a red giant
Expansive, a star
And I'm coming to burn this down
And laugh my ass off
[Post-Chorus]
All my children
Sing it again and again
'Cause a lie ain't a lie
If you're winnin' 'em over
Amen
[Verse 3]
Too late now, show's over
Real life is much closer
Take the makeup off, you wonder
Why I look the same, only bolder
[Chorus]
Blowing up like a red giant
Expansive, a star
And I'm coming to burn this down
And laugh my ass off
[Post-Chorus]
All my children
Sing it again and again
'Cause a lie ain't a lie
If you're winnin' 'em over
Amen
All my children
Sing it again and again
'Cause a lie ain't a lie
If you're winnin' 'em over
Amen
