Love In Water - Rockstar Clown Opera

You say the devil painted everything gold for you
While the angels had their backs turned
The shadow puppets poked fun
At you standing at the shore
Waiting for the pirates to come
But not for their treasure
Just to see if you could choke one
The waiter arrives with your flaming soufflé
Telling you precisely where you can stuff it
This kind of mocking is hard to stand
But you always say
How much you would really like to
Try to rough it
Now that you're laughing
And lost in the crowd
Forced to sing
All of your sad songs
And tell
Your secrets out loud
There is music here on South Street
In your favorite club
Where the lonely aren't forgotten
'Cause it's where they all come from
The stage is hot and glowing red
As you beat on your drum
And sing to them of fractures
Deeper than a chasm
They understand and nod their heads
And hardly feel dumb
Until what goes around is another round
The ring is square and they're numb
But somewhere
over the rainbow
Lies are true
But you're not there and you don't know
Your eyes
Are telling on you
You tell me that your fishing pole is hard to reel
And your mama won't except it that you're too clever to feel
Like a lone wolf out on the prowl
Or a spinning wheel
Or a New Age wounded troubadour
With magic powers to heal
The rockstar
Is not far
From being a clown
When you're not lost
Just don't know where you are
Can your feet be touching the ground
You say the devil painted everything gold for you
But since you've got your back turned
You can laugh and you can poke fun
From a cynics-eye-view of that
Glamour arcade
It's easier to see the light
It's even shining off stage
On the dog
And the pony
That you led around
As you sang
All of your proud songs
Through the painted
Smile of a clown
