Send in the Clowns Lyrics

You screwed this up, son, the wise man said
You have to lie in the bed you've made.
Well, lie I did. Oh box, did I!
I guess the joke is on me this time

Send in the clowns
Send in the clowns
The fool on the tightrope came crashing down
Send in the clowns
Send in the clowns

When hope is gone, the show must go on

Since happy ever after died
And let the rage for change subside
I humbly love the little one
But the failure lingers on and on

Send in the clowns
Send in the clowns

The fool on the tightrope came crashing down
Send in the clowns
Send in the clowns
When hope is gone, the show must go on

Never let them see the tears
After all the show went on for years
After all the show went on for years

Send in the clowns
Send in the clowns
The fool on the tightrope came crashing down
Send in the clowns
Send in the clowns
When hope is gone, the show must go on
