Circus 2020

Saw the ad in the paper: “Join the circus!”,
So that’s what I did,
Got a suit and a red nose,
I’ve had this kind of dream since I was a kid,
 
In the tent, the orders kept coming,
“Fight the lions!” and then “Ride a horse!”,
At the start, I felt kind of dizzy,
By the end of the week, I felt even worse,
 
“Don't you dare to cry!”, they told me,
”Never show your fear!”, they said,
“You are here for entertainment only,
If the people won't laugh - you are dead!”,
 
All my life, I knew I would come here,
Every party, guess who was the clown,
On TV it looks very funny,
So can someone explain please, why I feel down,

“Don't you dare to cry!”, they told me,
”Never show your fear!”, they said,
“You are here for entertainment only,
If the people won't laugh - you are dead!”,

One night, a bit after 03:00, I ran away, finally free,
All that time, I was too blind to see, I’ve made people happy, except me…
