Turin Brakes Lyrics
"Last Clown"

Last clown, drinking in a bar that's about to be closed down
A hero, I was in people's plans I was shaking their hands
I got lost in the world, slow motion walking and diatribe talking
As bad as things be, I'm a natural survivor

I was a young man, with the keys to the plans held within my hands
I knew everything, except the tick tick tock of the hourglass sands
I got lost in the world, slow motion walking and diatribe talking
As bad as things be, I'm a natural survivor

Last clown, with your dreams so shallow
You will learn you can never return
Though the grand scheme of things may seem re-arranged
People smile, but they never ever change

So if you see me walking around in the streets of your town
Don't feel for me, I've got more peace of mind than you ever shall find
I was lost in the world, slow motion walking and diatribe talking
As bad as things be, I'm a natural survivor

My boy, with your dreams so shallow
You will learn you can never return
Though the grand scheme of things may seem re-arranged
People smile, but they never ever change
Last clown
Last clown
Last clown
