The bright lights, the colorful scene
Everyone waiting for the show to begin
Steps out a clown with an inexplicable grin
The audience cheers as the journey begins
Mind games and cruelty all part of the act
Everyone’s masochistic side the clown tries to hack
They become addicted to the pain like they’re high on crack
Only a little girl hiding behind the crowd realizes this fact
Makeup and costume on, the clown seems to glow
Seems like no one can break his flow
Yet as the little girl turn away from his act he feels a hard blow
He realizes she sees through the fake act and really knows
The final act ends as the crowd goes applauding
The clown takes his bow and his face stuck smiling
Yet as he turns away a drop of tear starts falling
The little girl saw the scene and starts wondering
She can’t understand why this cruel clown that she is seeing
Can feel so much emotion for one small soul that’s just in hiding
Yet strip off the makeup and clothes that’s suffocating
You realize he is after all a human being
