What Clowns Are We

what clowns are we 
what clowns are we 
try to pretend do we 
what clowns are we 

what a game is love 
what a game is love 
what a game that breaks hearts 
we're made to play 

and were do tears go 
when they don't show 
where do years go 
we waste them so 
who counts the tears 
who sees your fears 
who counts the years 
when they disappear 

what a fool I must be 
what a fool I must be 
who thought she loved me 
how could I not see 

what a show is it all  
what a show is it all 
trying to hide it all 
what a show is it all 

and who counts the years 
that disappear 
who count the tears 
who knows your fears 
where do years go 
we waste them so 
where do tears go 
when they don't show 

oh they go to work on the heart 
needles and nails to make it rot 
and untie lovers knot 
they go to the heart 
to make it rot 

how can they know 
if you don't show 
who can notice 
where your heart is 
who will miss us 
when we're all gone 
who'll remember 
who we all were
