Lyrics: Pfleger Music: Pfleger Publishing by Edition Soundmill / Indra
He wrote a song - he had been working on so long
He felt he had given his soul
But they said it's wrong, people won't like your song
It wouldn't be a hit on the radio
So he had to change his song
Mixin' disco, a little bit of Reagee and Soul
Big Bosses said to him:" Boy, please understand -
Don't make music that isn't in"
Here comes the show clown - he's standing in the light
Here comes the show clown now - it seems, but he's not so bright!
When he was young he played and sang
He dreaned about standing on stage
He wasn't afraid of a music career
But the answer was on the next page:
he didn't know the name of the music game
Success is the most important thing
After a while he lost his style, so far away from fame
Misled by a golden king
Here comes the show clown - he's standing in the light
Here comes the show clown now - it seems, but he's not so bright!
After the show he wants to go
He feels like losing the soul
Disappears through the door he can't laugh anymore
He feels like losing it all
Here comes the show clown - he's standing in the light
Here goes the showclown now - he's standing alone in the night
Here goes the showclown
Here goes the show clown...
