Lonely Clown

Frozen fingertips all stiff and tired

Trucks scream by and my eyes stay wired

Shaking vibrations from the howling wind

Whispering everything will eventually cave in

Self pity for being in a pile

The lonely clown in exile

Got my doctor on speed dial

He's put me under the suicidal file

There's a better way than being this fragile

And I know I'll be waiting for a while

I'm sure I'll be watching this hourglass

Slowing down over every bump in my path

I think I might just stay outside tonight

Sit on the couch, stare out 'til I lose my sight

Wonder 'bout the minor felons locked up in juvenile camps

Sedated 'til they become more of a sensible man

Passing swiftly with a frequent dash

You can imagine the fast crash

Not a second more to elaborate

They're all bound to be jailbait

Self pity for being in a pile

The lonely clown in exile

Got my doctor on speed dial

He's put me under the suicidal file

There's a better way than being this fragile

And I know I'll be waiting for a while

I'm sure I'll be watching this hourglass

Slowing down over every bump in my path

Yes, I am the loneliest lonely clown

I'm renowned for being down

Somehow I'm a magnet for this roundabout
