Last Clown

Turin Brakes


Last clown, 
Drinking in a bar that's about to be closed down 
A hero, 
I was in people's plans I was shaking their hands 
I got lost in the world 
Slow motion walking and diatribe talking 
As bad as things be, I'm a natural survivor 

Oooooh, I was a young man 
With the keys to the plans held within my hands 
I knew everything 
Except the tick tick tock of the hour, glass hands 
Slow motion walking and diatribe talking 
As bad as things be, I'm a natural survivor 

Oooooh, last clown 
With your dreams so shallow 
You will learn, you can never return 
Though the grand scheme of things 
May seem rearranged 
People smile, but they never ever change 

So if you see me 
Walking around in the streets of your town 
Don't feel for me 
I've got more peace of mind than you ever shall find 
I got lost in the world 
Slow motion walking and diatribe talking 
As bad as things be, I'm a natural survivor 

My boy, with your dreams so shallow 
You will learn, you can never return 
Though the grand scheme of things 
May seem rearranged 
People smile, but they never ever change
