Jars Of Clay
"Sad Clown"


say how's the weather
so I look out the window
to brighten my soul
but I can't control
the rain that keeps falling
smile on the outside
that never comes in
a comedy, mystery, irony, tragedy
so I scream
let the show begin


you break me open
turn on the light
stumble inside
with me, with me

do I entertain you
do I preoccupy you
with my wit
to cover this lie
are you mesmerized
do you think me faithful
do you think me a clown
I picked out this shirt
I put on this hat
I wore all this paint
just for you
