Lament for Bobo the Clown

No one cares what you lost
Or the rules you keep
Or the breath you hold
On the face of the deep

You're the clown that can't be drowned
You got to stay high and dry
The world turns its face away
Watch it stumble by

Only three for two
Nine for five

Baby, can we keep it light
No answers, no alibis
Watch the clouds drift
See the dust rise

Only three for two
Nine for five
Only three for two
Nine for five

Will you fade like the dawn
Cold and sweet as the rain?
When your dreams are gone
Will your love remain?
