Jen Brown The Sad Clown lyrics

The curtains are closed.
Her mind's in a haze
She powders her doleful pale face

Cheers of encouragement
banging on her door,
A clarion-call from the floor

Blood-red on her lips
and blue coloured eyes
reflecting the truth of her lies

The spot light is on.
It shines straight onto her head
but all she can see is pitch black

And she blinks with button eyes
how she's used to do

And she smiles awfully nice
each time anew

She acts and she moves.
She talks and she sings.
In thoughts she is spreading her wings

The hall full and huge.
Applause long and loud.
A sad, lonely clown in the crowd

And she blinks with button eyes
how she's used to do
And she smiles awfully nice
each time anew
