No minor love can make the darkness right
Alone, deserted by a warm spotlight
I breathe the meaning of the words that I must need her.

The colder seas of my sleeping mind
Make muddy dreams until no peace I find
Through Fields Elysian beg to see my life again, once again.

And here I stand at last revealed a clown (revealed the clown) revealed the clown
And who can doubt this painted fool who walks upon this circus stage is just a clown?

No mind to colour now, no page to write
Cold pools of morning stain the virgin white
Another day without her love and I still need her.

And so the stage is set, the time is right
And waves of laughter shake the gods tonight
Another day will make a fool delight the children.

And so I stand at last revealed a clown, revealed the clown
And who can doubt the painted fool upon this circus stage has always been a clown?

And so I stand at last revealed a clown, revealed the clown
And who can doubt this painted fool who maybe has no mind at all
Would ever walk where he might fall and gain the laughter of us all
Who can doubt the painted fool who always walk upon this stage is just a clown, is just a clown?
Just a clown, is just a clown?
Just a clown?
