Letra
[Verse 1]
All alone in a crowded room
He tries to force a smile
The smile, it beamed, or so it seemed
But never reached the eyes, disguise
Masquerading as the funny man do they despise
[Verse 2]
The false smile maketh of the man
Glass empty or half full
Try to make some sense or sorrows drowned
All looks well on the outside
Underneath, the solemn truth
There's something that inside has died
[Verse 3]
Tomorrow comes, tomorrow goes
But the cloud remains the same
Wonder why he's feeling down
Tears of a clown
Maybe it's all just for the best
Lay his weary head to rest
Was forever feeling drowned
Tears of a clown
[Verse 4]
Who motivates the motivator?
Façade, it has to go
He knows it sooner or later
Smile for cameras, all okay
But tomorrow is another day he must get through
[Verse 5]
He had a longer way to run
Or so the story goes
Life full of fun, where did it go?
We saw the sadness in his eyes
It came as no surprise
And now of course, we'll never know
[Verse 6]
Tomorrow comes, tomorrow goes
But the cloud remains the same
Wonder why he's feeling down
Tears of a clown
[Verse 7]
Maybe it's all just for the best
Lay his weary head to rest
Was forever feeling drowned
Tears of a clown
[Verse 8]
Tomorrow comes, tomorrow goes
But the cloud remains the same
Wonder why he's feeling down
Tears of a clown
[Verse 9]
Maybe it's all just for the best
Lay his weary head to rest
Was forever feeling down
Tears of a clown
Tears of a clown
Tears of a clown
Tears of a clown
