Naked clown

The tough and handsome soldiers have come back from a war
All single, tanned from smouldering, they dizzy up the girls
while i lay in a puddle, coughing up the blood
--the girls don't give a damn about my love
ambassadors and diplomats are having cocktail night
and tanned and handsome soldiers go to their hotel flights
while i lay in a dumpster, in puss from toe to head
and not a soldier wants to be my friend

i'm naked clown, a naked clown--i'm paralyzed, and stretcher-bound
i'n naked clown, a naked clown--i'm disemboweled and thinly ground

the beautiful tough soldiers have put their medals on
ambassadors and diplomats are treating them with wine
while i lay in a gutter, all stinky and decayed--
but my blues you will never understand
a strongman hung me on the door by my suspender belts
a hangman made me eat some paper[crap] til my body melts
they won't let me die today, they keep me just alive
til there's a lake of blood for me to dive
