[ No One Ever Understands The Tears Of A Clown ]
[ Until The Circus Comes Back Around ]
[ & Puts Up Their Big Tent, In The Newest Town ]

[ A Clown Believes In The Opposite Of Violence ]
[ They Try To Put On Their Bravest Face ]
[ But They Suffer In Silence ]
[ For Fear Of Being Labled A Disgrace ]

[ To The Ultra-Secretive, Humble Clown Brotherhood ]
[ They Feel That They Are Vastly Misunderstood ]
[ In The Worldwide Clown Neighborhood ]

[ Does A Tearful Clown Ever Turn To One Another? ]
[ Why Can’t They Turn To A Brother ]
[ From Another Mother? ]

[ Is It For Fear Of Shame? ]
[ Or Nothing But A Finger Pointing Blame ]
[ Game? ]

[ Nothing Breaks The Chain Of Events ]
[ That Creeps Towards Fear ]
[ The Time That Has Been Spent ]
[ That Can Go On For A Continuous Year ]
[ Under That Mobile Tent ]

[ It Can Go On Without A Break ]
[ There Is No Money To Make ]
[ When The Head Supervisor Is On The Take ]
[ Because He Signed On The Dotted Line In The Form Of A Handshake ]

[ With The Devil ]
[ When The Head Supervisor Is Pure Evil ]

[ It Makes For A Poor Environment In The Emotional Sense ]
[ Because The Amount Of Pressure To Perform ]
[ Is Immense ]
[ It Is Not Near The Norm ]
[ For The Relations To Be So Tense ]

[ When The Clowns Are Treated Like A Dog ]
[ Because The Head Supervisor Wants To Live High On The Hog ]
[ Sometimes The Clowns Would Perform While Being In A Mental Fog ]

[ The Question Though Is, “How Do Hurting Clowns Heal?” ]
[ Is It From A Good Meal? ]
[ Making Sure Everything They Hear Is Real? ]

[ Maybe So ]
[ Or Maybe Not ]
[ The Only One That Will Know ]
[ Is The One Being Put On The Spot ]
[ Maybe The One Feeling Low ]
[ Thinks That When It Comes Down To It, This Doesn’t Play Out Like They Thought ]

[ It Would ]
[ Or Should ]
[ They Know That They Did The Best That They Could ]

[ They Will Just Play It Cool ]
[ Because Their Wife Is Not Married To A Fool ]
[ Their Next Adventure ]
[ Is Going On To Willamette Law School ]
