The horses and dancers, the acrobats too.
The ringmaster and all the beasts in the zoo.

At the end of the show, received huge adulation.
With thunderous cheers and a standing ovation.

But the funny men with baggy pants and large shoes
Got a different reaction, thrown fruit and loud boo’s.

Well their smiles turned to rage and confused irritation
As they stood there and suffered the crowds indignation.

They ripped off their noses and popped their balloons,
No more will with they play for these mindless buffoons.

So they piled into their car and it’s needless to say,
As they drove off, the clowns were quite angry that day

My eyes are both leaking,
they seem to be broken.
My throat is all choked up,
with words that weren’t spoken.

My head pounds away
with the pain of regret.
My heart still cries out
for joy I haven’t met.

Though today seems so dark
filled with sadness and sorrow.
There’s hope for relief and
a happy tomorrow.

The words are hard to come by
On the days you need them most.
