Our circus closed, and the midnight ghost,
Comin' out as lights go down.
Old and tired clown, no one is around,
Staring at the mirror
He said oh, the show must go on,
Lived in the crowd, but dyin' all alone
Clown in the mirror glitter and scars.
Here's the pleasure and pain look as one
Clown in the mirror touchin' the stars,
he's flyin' his dream to the sun
What a mask can say?
Cry the night away!
Askin' mirror - "tell me how long?"
Wrigglin' all those years, through the laugher's tears,
Don't believe in hearts of stone
He said oh, the show must go on,
Lived in the crowd, but dyin' all alone oh
Clown in the mirror glitter and scars.
Here's the pleasure and pain look as one, yeah!
Clown in the mirror touchin' the stars,
he's flyin' his dream to the sun
But the sun will rise, evil took the prize,
Something will remind you
Sign of disgrace - the paint on your face
Solo
oh, the show must go on,
Lived in the crowd, but dyin' all alone
Clown in the mirror glitter and scars.
Here's the pleasure and pain look as one, as one!
Clown in the mirror touchin' the stars,
he's flyin' his dream to the sun
