And now the clown jumps off the ladder A shallow pool but it doesn't matter? The way it goes the way it goes He's falling thru barriers and hedgerows A hollow man a hollow hand puppet Where's the applause when you need it???!! Baseball bats somersaults backflips Oh how i wish that things could be different A mother lode a mother lode A hollow man hollow hand puppet I'm a clown you don't wanna know me The knife behind the curtain My truth is ordinary You can't see your way out of this one It makes a joke but nobody listens At least he does not know it The last of all his courage Press the button for a free ticket There he goes hits the ground running
