Circus tonight at the old square  Families are crushing to get inside  Attracted by the lamps of the fair  Impatience is rising so tide    Mr Clown's watching from behind the curtain  Little kids eating sweets and calling "Daddy ! "  Mr Clown's feeling the same pain again  His hands are wet, his legs are shaky    I feel so diwn  I can't play the clown...    Mr Clown what's wrong with you ?  You are the star, they are waiting for you !  Jump on the ball ! Fall on the floor !  Lose it again and they will ask for more    Mr Clown gets on the ring  And the children start screaming and laughing  Mr Clown dancing on the high wire  Children pointing at him with the finger    I feel so down  I can't play the clown  I feel so down  I won't play the clown    Mr Clown what are you looking for ?  With this light on my face I just can't find !  Mr Clown can't speak no more  I got so many voices talking in my mind !    You've been drinking more than what you can take  Making all the matters worst  You've been smoking too much to stay awake  Mr Clown you're getting lost...    Mumbling words that we don't understand  Rambling rambling once again  Staggering acrobat, climbing on the counter  The audience is gone and now the show is over    Ouh ! My head...  Mr Clown turning wise in the old square  Juggling 'pon the back of pink elephant  Good friends are here with a bottle to share,  The stars and the moon are in the tent    I feel so high...  I feel so high...  I can touch the sky !    (Merci ? lou pour cettes paroles)
