lyrics

you might laugh at the shape you’re in
you might mock it with a bitter grin
or you might cry at the passing of days
watching the sands as they slip away

you might hide inside a hillside cave
and shout from the mountaintops that you’ve been saved
or you might fall into a gaping hole
lost in darkness there until you get old

look in the mirror
is that a velvet clown

you might hope for a pristine day
when you can cope then with some brighter way
and you might wonder as you sleep at night
if by looking outward you’re gonna lose your sight

are you a velvet clown
velvet clown

it’ll knock you out
drag you down
collapse beneath you
while you hold your ground
and while you’re laughing
in the darkened pit
they’ll paint your portrait
on black velvet

well
you might run to a far-off land
you might think that running is a clever plan
but you might encounter some bumps in the road
rocks in your pack
they add to the load
