Montaigne - I am a clown lyrics
[Montaigne - I am a clown lyrics]
From boys with one hint of
Reading the same books
From dressing myself in some masquerade gown
And wearing this frock in my frolicking town
That is chimera and I am a clown
If I am earnest, we're not meant to be
You should have found I am a clown
If my tongue's in my mouth
We're not meant to be
You should have found I am a clown
My cheeks are bright red, I am a bird
Hyenaic laughter, you've probably heard
Life is a joke and I'm glad I'm around
To be in the punchline and to hear the sound
Of some people laughing, I am a clown
So why do I want those who want me to frown?
If I am earnest, we're not meant to be
You should have found I am a clown
If my tongue's in my mouth
We're not meant to be
You should have found I am a clown
If I am earnest, we're not meant to be
You should have found I am a clown
If my tongue's in my mouth
We're not meant to be
You should have found I am a clown
And though I have found I am a clown
I still put the mask on when he is around
Perhaps I am still pining after a crown
But it's not for me, I am a clown
Perhaps for she, graceful in bounds
Mercy on me should you have found
If I am earnest, we're not meant to be
You should have found I am a clown
If my tongue's in my mouth
We're not meant to be
You should have found I am a clown
