Jonathan Coulton - Bozo's Lament

Текст песни

I guess because my name is Bozo
I was destined to be a clown
But when I joined the traveling circus
I didn’t think that it would bring me down
Make me angry like a sniper in a tower
And every Saturday
I take off my nose and say never more
Pie in my face
(Pie in my face)
Five days a work week
(Pie in my face)
It’s in my face
Pie in my face
It sucks to be a clown
I should have been a lion tamer
Those guys get all the girls
In a cage in satin tights
In a mane of golden curls
Everybody loves the guy who lives in danger
But in the center ring
I’m safe from everything except for
Pie in my face
(Pie in my face)
Five days a workweek
(Pie in my face)
It’s in my face
Pie in my face
It sucks to be a clown
The other night I dreamed of Arthur
Ex-human-cannonball
In the dream he asked the question
Do I fly or do I fall?
What’s the difference
Either way he’s still a dead man
And he’s finally free
No longer has to be up on stage
Pie in my face
(Pie in my face)
Five days a workweek
(Pie in my face)
It’s in my face
Pie in my face
It sucks to be a clown
(Pie in my face)
Yeah it sucks to be a clown
(Pie in my face)
Should have never been a clown
(Pie in my face)
'Cause it sucks to be a clown
