lyrics

The Clown is Down
-----------------------

And I don’t even really mind at all when I don’t get my way. It’s just a day like every other day.
Just sometimes you’ve got to give it all a little time to sink in before moving on to the next thing.

And I don’t mind the rain on my parade,
as long as we’re outside
we’ll make due without painted faces,
but if horses were wishes, then beggars would ride,
and I do, and I’m headed to the races.

Cause sometimes I too can taste a turn of luck.
I take what I can get from the races,
but more often than not I should give it up.

So I don’t even mind anymore when I don’t get my way.
I’m gonna pay like every other day.
I used to say that I could do a lot of things
if I had some money,
and now I do, so I’m trying,

but sometimes I just feel like saying,
“the next time you see my name
will be in the hobo-obituaries”.

Sometimes it’s ok to feel like everybody else.
Sometimes it’s ok to feel different.
Sometimes it’s ok to feel like everybody else.
Sometimes it’s ok to feel like everybody’s different.

I figured my Air to Breathe songs were too dark and complex, so i became inspired to write a younger sounding, poppy album. We practiced for a month, but come time to record, all our schedules began to conflict. Lineup changes would ensue ... more
