Sad clown
In the middle of a crowd
Looking only when you’re told to
Cool night
Trying to whisper up a fight
Double-dared by a cold brew
Back down
With your color-coded frown
Staring up to her crown
Ask why
And you’ll only ask twice
Luck plays you for a fool
You’ll see this side of me
Outrage in the cage
Ask her, the ringmaster
Ask her, the ringmaster
You’re told
Oh, what do you know?
Gaze down at the floor now
Headstrong
She screams you’re wrong
Tick tock! Time runnin’ out!
So red
Like a bullet to the head
Trying to earn my bread
My my!
I’m caught in a lie
I swear I’ll never shout!
You’ll see this side of me
Outrage in the cage
Ask her, the ringmaster
Ask her, the ringmaster
