Death Of A Clown Lyrics - The Singles Collection - Kinks

My makeup is dry and it cracks 'round my chin 

I'm drowning my sorrows in whisky and gin 

The lion tamer's whip doesn't crack anymore 

The lions they won't bite and the tigers won't roar 

La-la-la-la-la-la-la-la-la-la 

So let's all drink to the death of a clown 

Won't someone help me to break up this crown 

Let's all drink to the death of a clown 

La-la-la-la-la-la-la-la-la-la 

Let's all drink to the death of a clown 

The old fortune teller lies dead on the floor 

Nobody needs fortunes told anymore 

The trainer of insects is crouched on his knees 

And frantically looking for runaway fleas
