Clown by Emeli Sandé

I guess it's funnier from where you're standing

'Cause from over here I've missed the joke

Cleared the way for my crash landing
I've done it again
Another number for your notes

I'd be smiling if I wasn't so desperate

I'd be patient if I had the time

I could stop and answer all of your questions
As soon as I find out
How I could move from the back of the line
I'll be your clown
Behind the glass
Go ahead and laugh
'Cause it's funny
I would too if I saw me
I'll be your clown
On your favorite channel
My life's a circus, circus
Rounding circles
I'm selling out tonight
I'd be less angry if it was my decision

And the money was just rolling in

If I had more than my ambition
I'll have time to please
I'll have time to thank you as soon as I win
I'll be your clown
Behind the glass
Go ahead and laugh
'Cause it's funny
I would too if I saw me
I'll be your clown
On your favorite channel
My life's a circus, circus
Rounding circles
I'm selling out tonight

From a distance my choice is simple

From a distance I can entertain

So you can see me I put make-up on my face
But there's no way you can feel it

From so far away

I'll be your clown
Behind the glass
Go ahead and laugh
'Cause it's funny
I would too if I saw me
I'll be your clown
On your favorite channel
My life's a circus, circus
Rounding circles
I'm selling out tonight
