a park on a bright sunny day.
Children playing on the swings.
Flowers arranged in a colorful way.
Dancing in butterfly wings
High in the sky is a yellow balloon
And the clouds keep letting it through
Day slips, slides to the afternoon
Starting me thinking of you
Oh boy, it happened again
You got me playing the clown
Here am I in search of a friend,
but you say you don't want me,
you say you don't need me
around.
I'm walking the streets
with an evening to spare,
looking in windows and bars.
I'm finding a bus and I'm
paying my fare
To ride amongst taxis and cars
Ding, ding, dong, we play down a bell
And another journey begins
I'm taking my time, cause time can tell
The state of this turmoil I'm in
Oh boy, it happened again
You got me playing the clown
Here am I in search of a friend
But you say you don't want me
You say you don't need me around
Me and time, we're playing it tight
And we're slowly removing your stain
Now I don't dive outside
Each time the telephone rings
Oh boy, it happened again
You got me playing the clown
Here am I in the suit to befriend
But you say you don't want me
You say you don't need me
You say you don't like me,
and you don't want to please me
You say you don't want me,
you say you don't need me, oh
