mother's a clown

you just have to laugh

at the state we're in

can't help but get in our own way

what we're shooting for

has a ricochet

subject to delay

losing too much sleep

at the mess we're in

forces i'm not controlling

what a clever ape

i confuse myself

does what it says on the tin

i know mother's a clown

she's sound

i know mother's a clown

she's sound

i know mother's a clown

she's sound

i know mother's a clown

she hangs upside down

climbing up the ladder

we're at the top of the chain

i can see the finish line

sink back into the game

i know mother's a clown

she's sound

i know mother's a clown

she's sound

i know mother's a clown

she's sound

i know mother's a clown

she hangs upside down

we've got it all wrong

it's upside down

we've got it all wrong

it's upside down

we've got it all wrong

it's upside down

mother's a clown

she hangs upside down

we've got it all wrong

it's upside down

we've got it all wrong

it's upside down

i know mother's a clown

i know mother's a clown

i know mother's a clown

she hangs upside down
