Wo sind die Clowns? Lyrics

Ist das ein SpaÃŸ, ein Paar wie wir.
Mich jagt das Schicksal herum,
dich hÃ¤lt es hier.
Wo sind die Clowns?

Was fÃ¼r ein Paar, man glaubt es kaum.
Ich such an dir einen Halt,
du schwebst im Raum.
Wo sind die Clowns? Her mit den Clowns.
Ich hab geklopft, von TÃ¼r zu TÃ¼r.
Ich weiÃŸ, die TÃ¼r, die ich suchte,
sie fÃ¼hrt mich zu dir.
Ich glaub, mein Auftritt war gut,
ich erwarte Applaus.
Nun stehe ich da, vor leerem Haus.

Was eine Farce, verzeihe mir.
Ich dachte, was ich mir wÃ¼nsche,
das wÃ¼nscht du auch dir.
Und wo sind die Clowns?
Schnell her mit den Clowns.
Mir scheint, sie sind hier...

Ist das ein SpaÃŸ, ich bin ein Narr!
Ich hab mein Stichwort versÃ¤umt,
das so wichtig war.
Und wo sind die Clowns? Wo bleiben die Clowns?
Vielleicht nÃ¤chstes Jahr...

Keep it true to the song

Fix what’s wrong, but don’t rewrite what the artist wrote. Stick to the official released version — album booklet, label site, verified lyric video, etc. If you’re guessing, pause and double-check.

Respect the structure

Songs have rhythm. Pages do too. Leave line breaks where they belong. Don’t smash things together or add extra empty space just for looks.

Punctuation counts (but vibe-editing doesn’t)

Correct typos? Yes. Re-punctuating a whole verse because it ‘looks better’? Probably not. Keep capitalization and punctuation close to the official source.

Don’t mix versions

If you’re editing the explicit version, keep it explicit. If it’s the clean version, keep it clean. No mashups.

Let the lyrics be lyrics

This isn’t the place for interpretations, memories, stories, or trivia — that’s what comments are for. Keep metadata, translations, and bracketed stage directions out unless they’re officially part of the song.

Edit lightly

If two lines are wrong… fix the two lines. No need to bulldoze the whole page. Think ‘surgical,’ not ‘remix.’

When in doubt, ask the crowd

Not sure what they’re singing in that fuzzy bridge? Drop a question in the comments and let the music nerds swarm. Someone always knows.
