They're staging a show in the theatre world
All the crowds have come in
The stage has been set
And the curtains are up for the show to begin
All over the world every player is heard
And his message of doom
Is called everywhere and is sent through the air
And it lands in my room

Just watch the clown how he laughs and he sings
Filling the world with unspeakable things
Playing to hearts that just warm with every word
Look at the clown how he laughs and he smiles
Into the face of each heart he defiles
While in the distance the fireworks can be heard

The smile that's been spread on millions of faces
Who've read the reviews
It's only to tell things are going so well
Now it's all in the news
The people with wealth are a picture of health
Now you must understand
That all that we have and the future of love
Is kept safe in their hands

Just watch the clown how he laughs and he sings
Filling the world with unspeakable things
Playing to hearts that just warm with every word
Look at the clown how he laughs and he smiles
Into the face of each heart he defiles
While in the distance the fireworks can be heard

Just watch the clown how he laughs and he sings
Filling the world with unspeakable things
Playing to hearts that just warm with every word
Look at the clown how he laughs and he smiles
Into the face of each heart he defiles
While in the distance the fireworks can be heard

Fireworks can be heard
Fireworks can be heard
