As I fall to the floor
And pull this freak show down
I resign as clown
So climb from your high horse
The public is laughing
Between truth and lies
Then dear Madam Barnum
And let the show begin
But now I'm sweeping up
Strike up the band love
For this is the last time
If I'm not the sole fool
I resign as clown
Dear Madam Barnum
The last in line in your circus parade
Who pulls his trousers down
I resign as clown
My heart's torn and broken
Who pulls his trousers down
I guess by now they know
You said I was the master
I resign as clown
Your safety net just walked out
If I'm not the sole fool
Much to your surprise
I'm painting on a grin
And they just scream for more
Of all I surveyed
You tread the high wire
Then dear Madam Barnum
Children are clapping
