The Clown And The Castle Lyrics & Chords By The Hawkins

He's building his own little space, just for himself
where his fear of aggression puts feelings on shelves.
He's not old but it feels as if he'll live forever
since these moronic procedures repeat themselves.
Though there was a time of brightness in his room,
it was washed away all too soon.
"It must have been planned long before this", is his motto
'cause his brain, so conflict afraid, tells him so.
And his loneliness can be seen on the walls that he built when he started to fall,
and he's built them for as long as he can recall.
Where no one never wants to stay, they get their laughs and then go away,
and he'll be as much of a clown tomorrow as today.
His work of construction, it does take time,
time spent on his monumental sign.
It might make him satisfied, but not calm,
because the vultures circulate waiting for him to fall
His work is done just in time for his dying days.
He's built the worlds biggest coffin no matter what people say.
But what is one massive building worth to share,
when the life that you had was a castle of air.
