The Hookhunters - Clown World Lyrics

People are eating fire
Contortionists bend like wire
The acrobats climb higher in clown world

Carnival barkers and trapeze artists
Take my attention all the time
Flaming hoops with lions jumping through
And colorful pantomime
I'm trying to grab on to something real
I'm feeling that I got a raw deal

In Clown World
We live in Clown World
Everybody take a seat lean back and marvel at the show
Clown World
We live in Clown World
I know there's a real world out there that I'll never know

Welcome to the freak show buy a balloon
And watch someone get pie in his face
There's a big brown bear in a goofy hat
Losing his tricycle race
Elephants step on the donkeys' tails
And the snake charmers are much too big to fail

In Clown World
We live in Clown World
Everybody take a seat lean back and marvel at the show
Clown World
We live in Clown World
I know there's a real world out there that I'll never know

Fire eating men and the human cannonball
Walking on a tightrope trying not to fall

A man on stilts is walking the ringleader's talking
He's asking the strong man to leave
The big top is shaking the monkeys are waking
Their magic is made to deceive
I'm trying to grab on to something real
I'm feeling like I got a raw deal

In Clown World
We live in Clown World
Everybody take a seat lean back and marvel at the show
Clown World
We live in Clown World
I know there's a real world out there that I'll never know

Fire eating men and the human cannonball
Walking on a tightrope trying not to fall

People are eating fire
Contortionists bend like wire
Acrobats climb higher
And they'll do it again tomorrow

In Clown World (There's a sucker born every minute)
In Clown World (There's a sucker born every minute)
In Clown World (There's a sucker born every minute)
