CHORUS:
and I see (I see) (I see)
that I need (I need)
to end this game of
charades before you
and I see (I see) (I see)
what you need (you need)
cause I've been there before
hey there pal you've got that look on your face
know you've been hearing everything I say
I know what's wrong but I'll play dumb
hey there pal what's the matter Norman
did you get some bad news
tell me do you got 'them blues'
CHORUS
I love this game who's wrong and who's right
send in the clowns with their masks of white
thier caked with lies and truth and pain
I'm slowly unmasked and I'm faced with shame
is it your mommy or your dad
or did another friend go bad
CHORUS
BRIDGE:
you say "you've got the nerve to ask me what's wrong?
the knife you used was four letters long and do you cry?"
what's ailing Norman?
CHORUS
