You Killed The Clown lyrics

Draped in silk gown She danced around She filled this place with her smile She was the queen Of an Amazon dream She made us feel for a while Was it from spite Or just sheer delight You stooped so low I wanna know Why you killed the clown (Yeah) You shot her down I watch you try Try to make that girl cry So you could be king for just one day And you said that her smile Was no more than a lie Just because she had something, something to say Was it from spite Or just sheer delight You stooped so low I wanna know Why you killed the clown (Yeah) You shot her down Yeah, you, you killed the clown You laughed as she drowned And it was the only time I ever saw you smile Oh Precious and few Were the clowns we all knew Yeah they made us feel for a while Was it from spite Or just sheer delight You stooped so low I wanna know Why you killed the clown (Yeah) You shot her down Yeah, you shot her down
