I see a clown painting his face once more
Before the show has started
He paints a smile on his face with his makeup now
Although he´s broken hearted

But the rule of the clown is simple
And the show must go on as always
People are there to laugh at him
And he mustn´t let them down

He´s lost someone dear to him
And he´s crying now although he doesn´t show it
He gives the show of his life though he´s breaking down
Although you´d never know it

But there´s something different about his smile
An unfamiliar frown
Yes there´s something different about him now
He´s painted his smile on upside down
