Cabaret Clown Lyrics

	Drawing your curtains
	And locking the door
	TV dinner for one
	You're alone as before
	Do you leave on the greasepaint
	To cover the tears
	Does it hold the illusion
	Of your star lit years
	Self parody and bathos
	Deluded belief
	Like the blackest of comedies
	Ending in grief
	Where was the pathos
	And where was the man
	Just a cabaret clown
	In a Vaudeville sham
	I'll be seeing you round
	Cabaret Clown
	When there's no one around
	Where was the voice
	That thrilled me to bits
	Where were the show stoppers
	Where were the hits
	You hanged the arrangements
	Performance so cruel
	Where was my hero
	There now stands a fool
	And what the hell
	Did you do to your face
	Can't you let in the grey
	And grow old with grace
	You're a freak and a fraud
	With contempt for your crowd
	So beautifully bitter
	So painfully proud
	Too much blind pride
	To admit when you're wrong
	Envious of others
	You messed up your song
	Yes I know the clown's story
	The clichés the same
	With you smile on the outside
	Inside you're in pain
	So behind the locked door
	With your dinner for one
	Do you forget the lyrics
	To most of your songs
	When I look at the pantomime
	What do I see
	Like a mirror of truth
	Staring back I see...

	Drawing your curtains
	And locking the door
	TV dinner for one
	You' re alone as before
	Do you leave on the greasepaint
	To cover the tears
	Does it hold the illusion
	Of your star lit years
	Self parody and bathos
	Deluded belief
	Like the blackest of comedies
	Ending in grief
	Where was the pathos
	And where was the man
	Just a cabaret clown
	In a Vaudeville sham
	I' ll be seeing you round
	Cabaret Clown
	When there' s no one around
	Where was the voice
	That thrilled me to bits
	Where were the show stoppers
	Where were the hits
	You hanged the arrangements
	Performance so cruel
	Where was my hero
	There now stands a fool
	And what the hell
	Did you do to your face
	Can' t you let in the grey
	And grow old with grace
	You' re a freak and a fraud
	With contempt for your crowd
	So beautifully bitter
	So painfully proud
	Too much blind pride
	To admit when you' re wrong
	Envious of others
	You messed up your song
	Yes I know the clown' s story
	The cliche s the same
	With you smile on the outside
	Inside you' re in pain
