Clown
CRYING LOUD
YOU'RE CRAWLING ON THE FLOOR
JUST A BEAUTIFUL BABY,
YOU'RE NOTHING MORE
CLOSE YOUR EYES,
YOU'RE CRAWLING INTO SLEEP
I SWEAR I WON'T BREAK YOU
IF YOU LET ME TAKE YOU
WHERE THE WILLOWS NEVER WEEP
WHERE THE WILLOWS NEVER WEEP
COMING QUICK INTO YOUR WONDERLAND
FLYING HIGH ON BLEACHED WHITE SAND
TRANQUILIZED BY LIGHTS
YOU LOSE YOUR WAY
WELL JUST COME WITH ME
AND I'LL MAKE YOU SEE
WITH ME YOU'LL WANT TO STAY
CAN BABY COME OUT TO PLAY
CIRCUS LIGHTS ARE SHUTTING SLOWLY DOWN
BUT STILL YOU'RE UP IN THE AIR,
AND LOVING YOUR WINGS
MY DEAR YOU PLAY THE CLOWN
YOU'RE STILL UP IN THE AIR
AND LOVING YOUR WINGS
WHAT'S GONNA HAPPEN WHEN YOU COME DOWN
CRYING LOUD
YOU'RE CRAWLING ON THE FLOOR
JUST A BEAUTIFUL BABY,
YOU'RE NOTHING MORE
CLOSE YOUR EYES,
YOU'RE CRAWLING INTO SLEEP
I SWEAR I WON'T BREAK YOU
IF YOU LET ME TAKE YOU
WHERE THE WILLOWS NEVER WEEP
WHERE THE WILLOWS NEVER WEEP
COMING QUICK INTO YOUR WONDERLAND
FLYING HIGH ON BLEACHED WHITE SAND
TRANQUILIZED BY LIGHTS
YOU LOSE YOUR WAY
WELL JUST COME WITH ME
AND I'LL MAKE YOU SEE
WITH ME YOU'LL WANT TO STAY
CAN BABY COME OUT TO PLAY
CIRCUS LIGHTS ARE SHUTTING SLOWLY DOWN
BUT STILL YOU'RE UP IN THE AIR,
AND LOVING YOUR WINGS
MY DEAR YOU PLAY THE CLOWN
YOU'RE STILL UP IN THE AIR
AND LOVING YOUR WINGS
WHAT'S GONNA HAPPEN WHEN YOU COME DOWN

When I first heard this song, I took the lyrics really literally, so it was just almost describing a dream with this clown in it, (well, probably a nightmare). I love it anyway, it's nice and scary (: After reading waht other people have said though i can see how it could be about drug use, or child abuse, and it could alos be interpretted as being manic depression, almost...feeling really high one moment as if nothing can touch you, but whats going to happen when you fall back down?
