Array ( [sid] => 124453 [catid] => 1 [aid] => mick [title] => A Sad Circus [time] => 2006-08-14 13:58:27 [hometext] => [bodytext] => art painted on my face
covered my pain up in this place
yelling and screaming my name
here i am
i'm going to give you that show
a clown that i am
give me the spotlight and act as if i give a damn
why do you model me into something that i don't won't to be
sad, sad, clown why can't i speak
like a puppet i let them pull the strings and take control of me
Beautiful, Beautiful Dolly that takes her seat
face filled with makeup and shoes that can't fit her feet
why does that mime look so down
makes a expression in that window but the kids run and frown
what can i do, i'm giving you a show
i don't know who i am ,but my audience don't give a damn
give me the spotlight and i act as if i give a damn
why do you model me into something that i don't won't to be
sad, sad, clown why can't i speak
like a puppet i let them pull the strings, take control and run all over me
just run all over me
where is the fun
jake has his bullets for the race but no gun
the elephants has its music but no steps
the strings of the guitar are useless and i need the help
money broke as hell
just like society we have felled
i'm living my life in a circus
struggling for my money but being someone else
people throwing food at me
but all i want them to see that i want to be happy
minute by minute the boo me away
but the next day i have to perform this carnival of saddiness again today
like a puppet they want to pull me in each and everyway
i have nothing to say
truly my true self i really miss
but they don't give a damn
as long as i give them a show and yell
WELCOME LADIES AND GENTLEMEN TO THE SAD CIRCUS

Brilliant! You'd make a good lyricist a la Bono of U2.
