Oh,
it's so funny to be seeing you after so long, girl
The way you look,
I understand that you were not impressed
I heard you let that little friend of mine
take off your party dress
I'm not gonna get too sentimental
like those other stick -of
-valentines
Cause I don't know if
you were lovin' somebody
I only know that isn't mine
Alison, I know this world
is killing you
Alison, my aim is true
When I see you got a husband now
You leave your pretty fingers
like in the wedding cake
You used to hold him right
in your hand
But it took everything
that he could take
Sometimes I wish that I could
stop you from talking
When I hear the silly things that you say
I think somebody better
put out the big light
Cause I can't stand to
see you this way
Allison
I know this world is killing you
Allison
My aim is true.
My aim is true.
My aim is true.
My aim is true.
Laugh everyone at the clown,
he's the best one in town
But somewhere
deep in his shell
There's an ember of pride
People say I'm the life of the party
Cuz I tell a joke or two
Although I may be laughing loud and hard
Deep inside I'm blue
So take a good look at my face
You'll see my smile
looks out of place
If you look closer it's easy to trace
The tracks of my tears
The tracks of my tears
Just like how that archer did
I'm gonna keep my
sadness hidden
Though I'm smiling in the public eye
In my lonely room I cry
The tears of a clown
The tears of a clown
No sponge has the power
To absorb the shower
Of what pancake and powder
Couldn't cover
But today as I look in the mirror
I see things a whole lot clearer now
No more tear -stained
make -up for me
No more tear -stained make
-up for me me.
Cloud time is over.
Cloud time is over .
Cloud time is over.
It's over. It's over. It's over.
It's over. over. It's over.
Whoa, ho, ho
All right Steve Mullin with a Pell G'day
Thank you. Thank you. Thank you.
