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 Reagee and Soul
Big Bosses said to him:” Boy, please understand –
Don´t make music that isn´t in”
Here comes the showclown – he´s standing in the light
Here comes the showclown 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 showclown – he´s standing in the light
Here comes the showclown 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 showclown – 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 showclown…
