  Tiger Lillies - Clown

                  
My whole life it is misery
                      
My whole life it is grief
                     
The face-paint it just hides my soul
             
My life is a deceit

               
My makeup lies redundant now
                  
  Between my canvas walls
                    
The lip rouge and the face-paint
                 
Are no longer on call

                  
And my photographs
                 
They're all fading fast
                     
  The children are all adults now
                         
And their memories did not last

                           
  Well, no one really laughed at me
                      
Just a clown who is now dead
                 
And my suicide, my suicide, 
                
  My suicide note read:

             
My life it was a misery
                 
My life it was all grief
                 
And the face-paint hides my soul
               
My life is a deceit

                           
Well, the blood has darkened now
               
Upon my suicide note
              
And I lie in my paupers grave
                  
  Along with my cut throat

                       
And my whole life it was misery
                       
And my whole life it was grief
                         
And the face-paint it just hides my soul
                    
My whole life was a deceit
