Lyrics

Now that the show is over And the people have all gone I face the final curtain It's just the same old song I make 'em laugh - I make 'em cry Dream on loud until I die alone With a heart of stone? I'm pushing every fader For tenderness and fame Another masquerader And noone left to blame The tears inside - the burning rains I have to hide - my smile remains As long as walls come tumbling down The world always needs a clown I know the world keeps spinning round And round and round again I catch the flames of yesterday And I do the best I can Well, I'm the entertainer A poet in the ring Some call me a joker And some like to hear me sing The world always needs a clown
