Lyrics
Pocket Of a Clown
The lyric stays readable and compact here; the note and related paths sit nearby so you do not lose the song while looking for context.
Inside the pocket of a clown is a sad place to hang around
Just watching smiles turn into frowns inside the pocket of a clown
Inside the heartache of a fool you'll learn things they don't teach in school
And lessons there can be real cruel inside the heartache of a fool
Hollow lies make a thin disguise as little drops of truth fall from your eyes
[ guitar ]
Hollow lies make a thin disguise as little drops of truth fall from your eyes
Inside a mem'ry from the past lives every love that didn't last
Sweet dreams can start to fade real fast inside a memory from the past
It's a real sad place to hang around inside the pocket of a clown
