about

Originally released in 2004 on an EP called "Postcards From Kuala Lumpur", which got no attention. I've always like it so thought I'd include it in this collection with a major remix.

lyrics

The Royal Clown
george marinelli

step right up and take a chance now. give your token to the man
steady aim is all you need to take my hand

a sitting duck up on a railing. waiting for you to take me down
my heart's the prize, but it's been failing to draw the crowd

i'm just the sideshow, you're the talk of the town
but til you free me
i'll be the royal clown


lemonade and cotton candy, nothing that ever lasts too long
my life is looking like the circus, but the magic is gone

and so my heart is in this prison, just like the lions in the cage
and now i wait for you to find me in center stage

i'll play the jester, i'll wear this smile
but til you free me
i'm still the royal clown


i'll play the jester, i'll hide this frown
but til you free me
i'm still the royal clown
