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

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

I'll be your clown
Behind the glass
Go 'head and laugh
'Cause it's funny
I would too
If I saw me

I'll be your clown
On your favourite channel
My life's a circus, circus
Round in circles
I'm selling out tonght

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's"
As soon as I win

I'll be your clown
Behind the glass
Go 'head and laugh
'Cause it's funny
I would too
If I saw me
I'll be your clown
On your favourite channel
My life's a circus, circus
Round in circles
I'm selling out tonight

From a distance my choice is simple
From a distance I can entertain
So you can see me
I put make-up on my face
But there's no way you can feel it
From so far away

I'll be your clown
Behind the glass
Go 'head and laugh
'Cause it's funny
I would too
If I saw me
I'll be your clown
On your favourite channel
My life's a circus, circus
Round in circles
I'm selling out tonight
