The clowns teardrop.
The clowns teardrop.
The clown sits there in the alley with a teardrop in his eyes. The morning paper flies by. The buildings reach up to the sky. Why does he sit there? I don't know the reason why. He has a fake smile and sits and watches the people walk by. I think he wants to get high. But he is never going to reach the sky. He waits for a penny or dime. I think it's the end of the line.
