I guess it's funnier from where you're standing
'Cause from over here I've missed the joke
Cleared the way for my crash landing

I've done it again, another number for your notes
I'd be smiling if I wasn't so desperate
I'd be patient if I had the time

I could stop and answer all of your questions
As soon as I find out how I could move from the back of the line


So I'll be your clown
Behind the glass
Go 'head and laugh 'cause it's funny

I would too if I saw me
I'll be your clown
On your favorite channel

My life's a circus-circus rounding circles
I'm selling out tonight


I'd be less angry if it was my decision
And the money was just rolling in
If I had more than my ambition

I'll have time to please
I'll have time to thank you as soon as I win


Chorus:



So I'll be your clown
Behind the glass
Go 'head and laugh 'cause it's funny

I would too if I saw me
I'll be your clown
On your favorite channel

My life's a circus-circus rounding circles
I'm selling out tonight


Bridge:

From a distance my choice is simple

From a distance I can entertain
So you can see me I put makeup on my face
But there's no way you can feel it

From so far away

Chorus:


So I'll be your clown
Behind the glass

Go 'head and laugh 'cause it's funny
I would too if I saw me
I'll be your clown

On your favorite channel
My life's a circus-circus rounding circles
I'm selling out tonight
