Tiger Lillies - Clown
Bm E
My whole life it is misery
Bm E
My whole life it is grief
Bm E
The face-paint it just hides my soul
Bm E
My life is a deceit
Am Dm
My makeup lies redundant now
Am Dm
Between my canvas walls
Am Dm
The lip rouge and the face-paint
Am Dm
Are no longer on call
Am Dm
And my photographs
Am Dm
They're all fading fast
Am Dm
The children are all adults now
Am Dm
And their memories did not last
Am Dm
Well, no one really laughed at me
Am Dm
Just a clown who is now dead
Am Dm
And my suicide, my suicide,
Am Dm
My suicide note read:
Bm E
My life it was a misery
Bm E
My life it was all grief
Bm E
And the face-paint hides my soul
Bm E
My life is a deceit
Am Dm
Well, the blood has darkened now
Am Dm
Upon my suicide note
Am Dm
And I lie in my paupers grave
Am Dm
Along with my cut throat
Bm E
And my whole life it was misery
Bm E
And my whole life it was grief
Bm E
And the face-paint it just hides my soul
Bm E Am
My whole life was a deceit
