I've become the painted clown  I'll paint your town
 When your roof it tears me down  wears me down  you stare me down
 Down  down  down  down  down  down  down
 Lady  lady

 When today  I thought there were some  but some stole away
 I play  I play by your rules  I follow you anyway
 When your roof  it tears me down  wears me down  I'll be your clown

 Down, down, down, down, down, down, down
 Lady, lady

 Pitchin' and reachin' and crawlin' and fallin'
 Pitchin' and reachin' and crawlin' and fallin'

 Lady, lady
