Life is a dead end Full of doubt Can't keep my head up In the clouds Life is a planet More square than round No hole to fit in Oh, pull me down Ain't nobody told me there might not be nobody for me Ain't nobody told me there might not be nobody for me Don't let the curtain go down on me Go down, down on me Life is the rolling thunder When the lights go out But I'll be much stronger now Gotta hold the whole world in my arms Life is a circus So send in the clowns Can't keep my head up With your guard is looking down (ooh) Ain't nobody told me there might not be nobody for me Ain't nobody told me there might not be nobody for me Don't let the curtain go down on me Go down, down on me I'm shinin' No need to shine for anyone but me I'm shinin' No need to shine for anyone but me I'm shinin' (ain't nobody told me there might not be nobody for me) No need to shine for anyone but me I'm shinin' (ain't nobody told me there might not be nobody for me) No need to shine for anyone but me I'm shinin' (I'm shinin') No need to shine for anyone but me I'm shinin' (I'm shinin') No need to shine for anyone but me
