Dear Madam Barnum

I put on a fake smile

And start the evening show

The public is laughing

I guess by now they know

So climb from your high horse

And pull this freak show down

Dear madam barnum

I resign as clown

You said i was the master of all i surveyed

But now i'm sweeping up

The last in line in your circus parade

Children are clapping

As i fall to the floor

My heart torn and broken

And they just scream for more

If i'm not the sole fool

Who pulls his trousers down

Then dear madam barnum

I resign as clown

You tread the high wire

Between truth and lies

Your safety net just walked out

Much to your surprise

Strike up the band love

And let the show begin

For this is the last time

I'm painting on a grin

If i'm not the sole fool

Who pulls his trousers down

Then dear madam barnum

I resign as clown
