Pappy the Clown

Pappy the Clown went down
To the place where I used to stay
And he went there to find out
How he drowned out his days

Not sure what to do and
Not sure where to hide
Pappy the Clown drinks his poison
So he's not alone
And if he survives this night
You know he'll just do it again
Pappy my dear friend
Where did we go wrong

No one ever wonders
How he wastes his life
Smiling at children's birthday parties
Oh what a lie

Pappy the Clown
Oh, Pappy the Clown
Why are you so sad?
Why did you have to go
Almost took the leap of faith
The other day
Pappy my dear friend
Where did we go wrong
