Lyrics

[Verse 1]
Hey, hey, hey, hey, hey, hey, hey
[Verse 2]
I put on a fake smile
And start the evening show
The public is laughing
I guess by now they know
So climb from your high horse
And pull this freak show down
Dear Madam Barnum
I resign as clown
[Verse 3]
You said I was the master
Of all I surveyed
But now I'm sweeping up
The last in line in your circus parade
[Verse 4]
Children are clapping
As I fall to the floor
My heart torn and broken
And they just scream for more
If I'm not the sole fool
Who pulls his trousers down
Then dear Madam Barnum
I resign as clown
[Verse 5]
You tread the high wire
Between truth and lies
Your safety net just walked out
Much to your surprise
[Verse 6]
Hey, hey, hey, hey
[Verse 7]
Strike up the band, love
And let the show begin
For this is the last time
I'm painting on a grin
If I'm not the sole fool
Who pulls his trousers down
Then dear Madam Barnum
I resign as clown (Dear Madam Barnum)
I resign as clown (Dear Madam Barnum)
I resign as clown (Dear Madam Barnum)
