Little Red Balloons

[Verse] Daniel's got a fear It's clear Clowns are what he can't stand near Red noses and painted smiles Send shivers up his spine It's wild [Verse] In the circus tent He stays away Just the thought makes him feel betrayed Every step Every move they make His heart aches It's a mistake [Chorus] Oh Little red balloons in the sky Remind Daniel of the tears he's cried He despises those painted faces His fear of clowns can't be erased [Verse] Clowns try to please But Daniel ain't pleased Their face-paintin' tricks He just wants his peace Under the big top They're jumpin' 'round like fools But all he wants is to break all their flimsy rules [Verse 2] He don't like their jokes They fall flat on their nose The honkin' horns and big shoes It's all a sorry show They try to make him laugh But it's all a disguise Behind the painted smiles Something's ain't right [Chorus] Behind the smile There's a frown they can't see Daniel's searching for something that's real You see The clowns may try But they'll never understand That their tricks and their pranks just ain't in his plan
