Turin Brakes - Last Clown lyrics

rate me

last clown

drinking in a bar that's about to be closed down

a hero

i was in people's plans i was shaking their hands

i got lost in the world

slow motion walking and diatribe talking

as bad as things be, i'm a natural survivor

oooooh, i was a young man

with the keys to the plans held within my hands

I knew everything

except the tick tick tock of the hour, glass hands

i got lost in the world

slow motion walking and diatribe talking

as bad as things be, i'm a natural survivor

oooooh, last clown

with your dreams so shallow

you will learn, you can never return

though the grand scheme of things

may seem rearranged

people smile, but they never ever change

so if you see me

walking around in the streets of your town

don't feel for me

i've got more peace of mind than you ever shall find

i got lost in the world

slow motion walking and diatribe talking

as bad as things be, i'm a natural survivor

my boy, with your dreams so shallow

you will learn, you can never return

though the grand scheme of things

may seem rearranged

people smile, but they never ever change

last clown (x3)
