Something Bad Happened To A Clown Lyrics - Zevon Warren

written by Warren Zevon 1995 Zevon Music BMI 

Every touch is measured out 

Every word is written down 

Sunny skies are seldom seen 

In the land of few and far between 

And everybody wears a frown 

Someone lost their squirting rose 

There's his red nose on the ground 

No one's seen his painted smile 

He's been gone for quite a while 

Something bad happened to a clown 

Something bad happened to a clown 

He used to honk his horn and everyone would laugh 

He used to honk his horn 

She doesn't think he's very funny anymore 

Footprints in the sawdust leading to the edge of town 

Something bad happened to a clown 

Something bad happened to a clown 

He used to honk his horn and everyone would laugh 

He used to honk his horn 

She doesn't think he's very funny anymore 

Footprints in the sawdust leading to the edge of town 

Something bad happened to a clown 

Something bad happened to a clown
