The Clown

Like a foreign tongue
I can't speak
I fell down for you
For you, I've played the clown
Stayed around
Did what I had to
For too, for too long

Without my spine, I can't sleep
Or stand with you
For you, I sold this home
For dust and stone
I did what I had to
For you, for you, for you, for you
For you, for you, for you, for you

I've played the clown for you, so lay me down with you
I've played the clown for you, so lay me down with you
I've played the clown for you, so lay me down with you
I've played the clown for you, so lay me down with you

No license to play, you'll act the fool
These tricks are getting old
We take this road by being cruel
This scene remains unsolved
I'm lost so far from home
We are adrift at sea, more like to see
A perfect scene, a bottle green
A broken chance seam to seam

(So lay me down with you)
(So lay me down with you)
(So lay me down with you, with you, with you, with you)
(So lay me down with you)
(So lay me down with you)

I've played the clown for you, so lay me down with you
I've played the clown for you, so lay me down with you
I've played the clown for you, so lay me down with you
I've played the clown for you, so lay me down with you
