The Clown Lyrics

I'm fairly certain that the song revolves around one person pulling another into a relationship, that's operating a lot like a drug addiction. They want the other person to need them, they thrive on it, and they know they can manipulate the other into that situation, and keep them there, and the manipulator is almost taking pride of what they're doing.

Or it's just about drugs, what song isn't at this point?
