[Verse 1]
I guess it's funnier from where you're standing
'Cause from over here, I miss the joke
Clear the way for my crash landing
I've done it again, another number for your notes
I'd be smiling if I wasn't so desperate
I'd be patient if I had the time
I could stop and answer all of your questions
As soon as I find out how I can move from the back of the line

[Chorus]
I'll be your clown behind the glass
Go ahead and laugh, 'cause it's funny, I would too if I saw me
I'll be your clown on your favorite channel
My life's a circus, circus, round in circles, selling out tonight

[Verse 2]
I'd be less angry if it was my decision
And the money was just rolling in
If I had more than my ambition
I'd have time for please, I'd have time for thank you as soon as I win

[Chorus]
I'll be your clown behind the glass
Go ahead and laugh, 'cause it's funny, I would too if I saw me
I'll be your clown on your favorite channel
My life's a circus, circus, round in circles, I'm selling out tonight
[Bridge]
From a distance, my choice is simple
From a distance, I can entertain
So you can see me, I put makeup on my face
But there's no way you can feel it from so far away

[Chorus]
I'll be your clown behind the glass
Go ahead and laugh, 'cause it's funny, I would too if I saw me
I'll be your clown on your favorite channel
My life's a circus, circus, round in circles, I'm selling out tonight
