I paint it all, but feel alone — I’m Pierrot
“Ladies and gents... meet the painted smile…”
Curtain up—showtime!
Wake up, draw the lines again
Eyes wide, cheeks in red
Every day’s a brand new play
Same old jokes I always say
Crowd is loud, I spin and bow
Nobody sees the sweat right now
Behind the mask, a quiet tone
I laugh on cue, but cry alone
I paint it all, but feel alone  I’m Pierrot
Smile too wide, the world won’t know  I’m Pierrot
Laugh on stage, then sneak below
Truth in white and black shadow
Oh-oh-oh, I’m Pierrot
Yes, yes, yes, I’m Pierrot
Neon lights and spinning wheels
Trade my truth for cheap appeals
Tiptoe on this narrow rope
Hearts in glitter, minds on hope
No one stops, no one asks
Who I am behind the acts
But in this chaos, I still glow
Cause that's the way the circus goes
I paint it all, but feel alone  I’m Pierrot
Smile too wide, the world won’t know  I’m Pierrot
Dancing dreams on every show
Even pain wears a halo
Oh-oh-oh, I’m Pierrot
Yes, yes, yes, I’m Pierrot
Mirror cracks behind the tent
Laughter’s not where freedom went
Still I twirl and chase the light
One more bow, one more night
And now... one final smile!
I paint it all, but feel alone  I’m Pierrot
Still I shine, still I glow  I’m Pierrot
Dancing high, hiding low
Curtains fall, but I still show
Oh-oh-oh, I’m Pierrot
Yes, yes, yes, I’m Pierrot
Forever more… Pierrot…
