Turn on the lights
The show begins
the showman calls
the clown's in the ring
Everybody's having fun, the people are laughing
But, Harry the clown has nothing to laugh about
Oh, behind his everlasting smile
There is a man, there is a man, you mustn't forget it
When you turn off the lights
cleaned away the mask
I see a poor man crying
And slowly the tears melt away his smile, yeah
Death took away his love,
Fate moved away his sons
and the money that he has
is just enough for a glass of wine,
a piece of bread
and for the make – up on his face
When you turn off the lights
cleaned away the mask
I see a poor man crying
And slowly the tears melt away his smile, yeah
The painful irony in his life
He spent all his time
Making other people happy
But there's a hole inside his heart
When you turn off the lights
cleaned away the mask
I see a poor man crying
And slowly the tears melt away his smile, yeah
