가사
[Verse]
I'm always stuck in this melancholy mood
Lost in a crowd, but feeling so alone
Just can't shake off these blues, no matter how I try
Wishing I could be happy like everyone I see
[Verse 2]
Then I met a doctor who said he had a cure
Said, "Go see the clown at the circus, he'll make you laugh for sure"
But I couldn't help but wonder, can a clown fix what's wrong inside?
Or is it just another mask, hiding pain they can't abide?
[Chorus]
Oh, I'm just a sad man in a world so full of joy
Can't seem to find my smile, it's been misplaced since I was a boy
Will the clown at the circus mend my broken heart?
Or will he just be another act, playing his own part?
[Verse 3]
With hesitant steps I tread the path,
To the circus tent basked in the last rays of light.
Skeptical thoughts cloud my weary mind,
Can the laugh of a clown truly change the way I feel?
[Verse 4]
Walking through the grounds, I see children laugh and play,
Their joy infectious, lighting up the last light of day.
And though I know my sorrow won't suddenly depart,
I'm glad for their happiness, it warms my weary heart.
[Chorus]
Oh, I'm just a sad man in a world full of joy
Can't seem to find my smile, it's been misplaced since I was a boy
Will the clown at the circus mend my broken heart?
Or will he just be another act, playing his own part?
[Chorus]
Oh, I'm just a sad man in a world full of joy
Can't seem to find my smile, it's been misplaced since I was a boy
Will the clown at the circus mend my broken heart?
Or will he just be another act, playing his own part?
[Verse 5]
Amidst the echoes of laughter, I sit in the dark,
As acrobats soar high and elephants embark.
Though I can't see the spectacle, I feel their joy arise,
Grateful for their happiness under the circus skies.
[Verse 6]
As I sit before the mirror, painted face, colors bright,
I know it's not for me, but for the crowd's delight.
For tonight, under the big top, I'll play my humble part,
Bringing laughter to the world, though sadness fills my heart.
[Verse 6]
As I sit before the mirror, painted face, colors bright,
I know it's not for me, but for the crowd's delight.
For tonight, under the big top, I'll play my humble part,
Bringing laughter to the world, though sadness fills my heart.
[Pre-Chorus]
[Building intensity]
I'll put on the mask
I will play the part
The act waits for no one
The show must go on
[Chorus]
Oh, I'm just a sad clown in a world full of joy
I'll wear my painted smile, I've done it since I was a boy
Will the joy of the crowd mend my broken heart?
Or are they part of the act and they're playing their part?
[Music]
[Quietly spoken]
I am the mask
[Fadeout]
