Lyrics
If tears were dollar bills
I'd be a millionaire
If pain was real estate
I'd be Piccadilly Square
If scars were silver bars
I'd be the best dressed chick in town
Am I the fool who's passing for a clown?
If heartaches were made of silk
I'd be softer than a sigh
And human kindness milk
I'd have the whole world supplied
I'm always building up
To what he's always tearing down
Am I the fool who's passing for a clown?
Some experts in love say "Get evil
How long can you play a fool?"
But the clown starts to frown
Down in me and says "Keep on living
Living by the golden rule"
So why should Mother fight
If misery seems to be
If trouble seems the height
Of the sweet stupidity
For on some given night
He just might make it back to be
The fool who's passing for a clown
