Clown

I see a clown painting his face once more 
  Before the show has started 
  He paints a smile on his face with his makeup now 
  Although he's broken hearted 

  But the rule of the clown is simple 
  And the show must go on as always 
  People are there to laugh at him 
  And he mustn't let them down 

  He's lost someone dear to him 
  And he's crying now although he doesn't show it 
  He gives the show of his life though he's breaking down 
  Although you'd never know it 

  But there's something different about his smile 
  An unfamiliar frown 
  Yes there's something different about him now 
  He's painted his smile on upside down
