Clowns Lyrics by Louise Burns

Portraits

2019

What am I doing?
When everything is going right
What am I doing?
I take a beautiful rose and I paint it white
What was I thinking?
I always bring myself down (down)
Down to your level
You build the bottom up to hold all these clowns
(Oh, oh oh, oh oh)
Some days you gotta live
Some days you gotta do something
(Oh, oh oh, oh oh)
Some days you gotta live
Just like a creep in the night
Just like a clown in disguise
Just like a creep in the night
Just like a clown in disguise
(Run around, dirtbag, try again, be a man)
(Run around, dirtbag, try again, be a man)
What am I wearing?
I think I look like a clown
And I can't stop caring
For all the painted faces leading us to break down
They don't stop parading
They're trying to make me laugh
But I can't stop staring
Cause' when it rains the paint will melt and make them look sad
(Oh, oh oh, oh oh)
Some days you gotta live
Just like a creep in the night
Just like a clown in disguise
Just like a creep in the night
Just like a clown in disguise
(Bullet holes, tiny man, shut your face, don't be mad)
(Run around, dirtbag, try again, be a man)
(Loving eyes, a flashback, metalheads, don't look back)
(Run around, dirtbag, try again, be a man)
(Try again, try again, try again, try again)
(Try again, try again, try again, try again)
Try (Try again, try again, try again, try again)
Try (Try again, try again, try again, try again)
