My Life as a Circus Clown

Matthew Good

The lights go down
The knife man sleeps
And I wonder where you are
Trapped inside a burning mini
And I wonder where you are
You never used a safety net
I never thought that far ahead
I wonder if you think of me
While I wonder where you are

This time I lose but
I know one day
I'll win
One day I'll win
This time I lose but I know
One day
I'll win
One day I'll win

The new girl does your show at eight
And I wonder where you are
The human cannon hesitates
And I wonder where you are
If you can make me disappear a little
Can you make me disappear a lot
Well I wonder if you think of me
While I wonder if you're not

This time I lose but
I know one day
I'll win
One day I'll win
This time I lose but I know
One day
I'll win
One day I'll win
I will

The lights go down
The knife man dreams
Of missing
Of missing
Of missing
