Another clown jumps off the ladder
D                              E
A shallow pool but it doesn’t matter
D                              E
The way it goes, the way it goes
D                                    E
He’s falling through barriers and hedgerows
D                           E
A hollow man, hollow hand puppet
D                              E
Where’s the applause when you need it?

But these brought by somersaults and backflips
D                                 E
On Hallowe'en some things'll be different
D                           E
A mother lode, a mother lode
D                          E
A hollow man, hollow hand puppet
D                                   E
I’m a clown, you don’t want her to know me
D                    E
The knife behind the curtain
D             E
No truth is ordinary

You can’t see your way out of this one
D                            E
He makes a joke but nobody listens
D                      E
At least he does not know it
D                      E
The last of all his courage
D                        E
Press the button for a free ticket
D                               E
Here he goes, hits the ground running.
