Текст песни
"Tick-tock, the lights go down,
Who's still laughing in this town?"
Under the tent, the shadows creep
A painted grin that doesn't sleep
Tears of crimson stain his face
A ghostly jester lost in space
He walks on nails through broken dreams
A puppet bound by silent screams
The crowd is gone, but still he plays
For echoes trapped in circus haze
Smile, my clown, don't fade away
The night will call, and you'll obey
Through shattered laughs and velvet pain
You dance inside the dark again
The moon looks down with hollow eyes
The carousel of sorrow dies
From a box comes a lullaby tune
For souls that vanish too soon
A balloon floats red and round
Dripping softly to the ground
He whispers jokes to ghosts of old
His laughter cracks - his heart is cold
Smile, my clown, don't fade away
The night will call, and you'll obey
Through shattered laughs and velvet pain
You dance inside the dark again
"Do you want a balloon? Take it, dear
It's filled with dreams and a little fear"
In his mirror, eyes of glass
Reflect a child that time won't pass
The circus sleeps, but he remains
A painted ghost in rusted chains
On the floor, he writes in bone
"Smiles stay long... when you're alone."
"Tick-tock... the clown... won't go away"
