C         Dm               C
I guess because my name is Bozo

      Dm          C         Dm C
I was destined to be a clown

I take off my nose and say never more

I should have been a lion tamer

Those guys get all the girls

     Dm            C
In a cage in satin tights

     Dm      Em
In a mane of golden curls

F    G              E7               Am
Everybody loves the guy who lives in danger

           Am(maj7)
But in the center ring

Am7           D7           G        G6
I'm safe from everything except for

   Dm    C         Dm    C
Ex-human-cannonball

       Dm                 C
In the dream he asked the question

     Dm     Em
Do I fly or do I fall?

F          G
What's the difference

       E7               Am
Either way he's still a dead man

         Am(maj7)
And he's finally free

No longer has to be up on stage
