Clown - The Tiger Lillies

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 make-up 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 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
