Class Clown

Love is a friend of mine

It tells me to keep my head

When all those around me are

Losing theirs instead

You know me well

I do it all on my own

I wanted to turn around

And make my house a home

For the king and the queen

(And live in never, neverland)

I know they're waiting for me

(But the hourglass is out of sand)

To be the class clown

When I was a younger man

Got used to taking it on the chin

I fight when I'm falling down

Get back up again

The time has come

To put away childish things

And fly like a mockingbird

Angels spread their wings

You're wearing the frown

Feeling so down

And still, you paint the town red

You're waking the dead

Making you bed to lie next to me

There's a place to go when I'm feelin' low

That nobody else will ever know

When you're on the ropes in the final round

That's how it feels to be the class clown

Will it ever go away?
