Lyrics
40 days and 20 nights
Now look who's playing the clown.
You never thought you'd catch me here,
Especially in this town.
The lonely days and sleepless nights,
Have finally all calmed down.
I feel like there's a part of me,
That's been ripped out when you're gone.
And the footlights all have gone black.
And your precious little armor's showing cracks.
You can feel the walls moving in.
'Cause the audience can see just where you been.
Paint me red and left me blue,
You hung me out to dry.
The colors never bothered me,
They just brightened up my life.
But walking through the circus tent,
It just didn't fit your style.
You loved to feel the spotlight girl,
But you never liked to smile.
Chorus
40 days and 20 nights
Now look who's playing the clown.
You never thought you'd end up here,
Especially in this town.
The lonely days and sleepless nights,
Are now coming around for you.
The pain I tried to warn you 'bout,
Is about to fall on you!
