Sadness Seeks Company
Clown at a cheap diner.


Sadness Seeks Company

Well I try to keep a happy outlook on life
but, to be honest, the costume doesn’t work
these days clowns are only seen in horror flicks
and I never had the nerve to be in those.

So now I join the line for dinner
we’re all down on our luck in this place
and people understand me better
not that they make any sense to me.
