Us4 - Tears of a Clown Lyrics

I was waiting at the bus stop for my lifetime to arrive
Running late by half a second left my words on overdrive
I was jumping like Jack's shadow in a box that was too small
One move in the wrong direction left my back lodged in the wall
Heart, heart, burning, burning
Soul, soul, yearning, yearning
I was lingering in the darkness, trying to catch somebody's ghost
I was torn, broken and heartless, left drifting coast to coast
Like a foghorn in the ocean, like a beacon in the night
Like forgotten saints and sinners, I have lost my appetite
Heart, heart, bleeding, bleeding
Soul, soul, needing, needing
Crack the sky open
Let the rain pour down
Don't you know I'm only joking
But it's sad, so sad, to be a clown
Days blaze into fiery nights
Words change into spectacular sights
My mind is craving
My heart is aching
My soul is waiting too
Crack the sky open
Let the rain pour down
Don't you know I'm only joking
But it's sad, so sad
Crack the sky open
Let the rain pour down
Don't you know I'm only joking
But it's sad, so sad
To be a clown

I was waiting at the bus stop for my lifetime to arrive
Running late by half a second left my words on overdrive
I was jumping like Jack's shadow in a box that was too small
One move in the wrong direction left my back lodged in the wall
Heart, heart, burning, burning
Soul, soul, yearning, yearning
I was lingering in the darkness, trying to catch somebody's ghost
I was torn, broken and heartless, left drifting coast to coast
Like a foghorn in the ocean, like a beacon in the night
Like forgotten saints and sinners, I have lost my appetite
Heart, heart, bleeding, bleeding
Soul, soul, needing, needing
Crack the sky open
Let the rain pour down
Don't you know I'm only joking
But it's sad, so sad, to be a clown
Days blaze into fiery nights
Words change into spectacular sights
My mind is craving
My heart is aching
My soul is waiting too
Crack the sky open
Let the rain pour down
Don't you know I'm only joking
But it's sad, so sad
Crack the sky open
Let the rain pour down
Don't you know I'm only joking
But it's sad, so sad
To be a clown
