lyrics

SCARY AS A CLOWN

If you see her
Could you tell her
That I’m taking off the hat
With the propeller
I’ve kicked off my size-18’s
And put away those comic dreams
They were bringing me down
Bringing me down
Nothing’s quite as scary
As a clown

Mirror, mirror
Who’s the fairest?
I was so impassioned
Now I’m so embarrassed
And I thought she’d be so impressed
Now the whole world sees the way I’m dressed
And it’s bringing me down
Bringing me down
Nothing’s quite as scary
Nothing’s quite as scary
As a clown

And now I choose
To wipe off these white-faced blues
And find the brighter news that must come after
‘Cause heaven knows
When you put on that big red nose
Just make sure you’re ready
For the laughter

It was bringing me down
Bringing me down
Nothing’s quite as scary
Nothing’s quite as scary
As a clown
