Lyrics

[Verse 1]

I guess it's funnier from where you're standing

'Cause from over here, I missed the joke

Clear the way for my crash landing

I've done it again, another number for your notes

[Verse 2]

I'd be smiling if I wasn't so desperate

I'd be patient if I had the time

I could stop and answer all of your questions

As soon as I find out

How I can move from the back of the line

[Chorus]

I'll be your clown behind the glass

Go ahead and laugh 'cause it's funny

I would too if I saw me

I'll be your clown on your favorite channel

My life's a circus, circus, 'round in circles

I'm selling out tonight

[Verse 3]

I'd be less angry if it was my decision

And the money was just rolling in

If I had more than my ambition

I'll have time for please, I'll have time for thank you

As soon as I win

[Chorus]

I'll be your clown behind the glass

Go ahead and laugh 'cause it's funny

I would too if I saw me

I'll be your clown on your favorite channel

My life's a circus, circus, 'round in circles

I'm selling out tonight

[Verse 4]

From a distance, my choice is simple

From a distance, I can entertain

So you can see me

I put makeup on my face

But there's no way you can feel it

From so far away, yeah

[Chorus]

I'll be your clown behind the glass

Go ahead and laugh 'cause it's funny

I would too if I saw me

I'll be your clown on your favorite channel

My life's a circus, circus, 'round in circles

I'm selling out tonight
