The Clown
After a couple of bottle of red wine
The truth finally came out
The words: I don't love you anymore
Spilled from his mouth
So I looked to the waiter for some consolation
But he just poured the coffee,
And without hesitation he said:
Ma'am, is that all you'll be needing tonight?
And oh, the piano kept playing
And nobody noticed the heart in the corner booth breaking
Cell phones kept ringing, glasses were clinking
Everyone laughing and dancing and singing
So I painted a smile on my face to cover the frown
In that room full of jokers and jesters
I was the clown
Well, you can't walk the high wire of love and be afraid to fall
And you can't put all of your faith in a gypsy's crystal ball
We just do what we do
Take the chances we take
Show me a life without a mistake
Oh, we all learn our lessons and we all fall down
And oh, the piano keeps playing
And nobody notices the heart in the corner booth breaking
Cell phones keep ringing, glasses keep clinking
Everyone laughing and dancing and singing
So if you paint a big smile on your face to cover the frown
In that room full of jokers and jesters
Sometimes you're the clown
When the circus is over
And the tents are pulled down
The truth is, the show must go on for the clown
And oh, the piano kept playing
The truth finally came out
The words: I don't love you anymore
Spilled from his mouth
So I looked to the waiter for some consolation
But he just poured the coffee,
And without hesitation he said:
Ma'am, is that all you'll be needing tonight?
And oh, the piano kept playing
And nobody noticed the heart in the corner booth breaking
Cell phones kept ringing, glasses were clinking
Everyone laughing and dancing and singing
So I painted a smile on my face to cover the frown
In that room full of jokers and jesters
I was the clown
Well, you can't walk the high wire of love and be afraid to fall
And you can't put all of your faith in a gypsy's crystal ball
We just do what we do
Take the chances we take
Show me a life without a mistake
Oh, we all learn our lessons and we all fall down
And oh, the piano keeps playing
And nobody notices the heart in the corner booth breaking
Cell phones keep ringing, glasses keep clinking
Everyone laughing and dancing and singing
So if you paint a big smile on your face to cover the frown
In that room full of jokers and jesters
Sometimes you're the clown
When the circus is over
And the tents are pulled down
The truth is, the show must go on for the clown
And oh, the piano kept playing
