The Mother Lode lyrics

Another clown jumps off the ladder A shallow pool but it doesn't matter The way it goes, the way it goes It's falling through barriers and hedgerows Hollow man, hollow hand puppet Where's the applause when you need it? But these brought by somersaults and backflips I wish that things would be different A mother lode, a mother lode Hollow man, hollow hand pupper I'm a clown you don't want her to know me The knife behind the curtain The truth is hard of hearing Ypou can't see a way out of this one It makes a joke but nobody listens Ar least he does not ---- The last of all his courage Press the button for a free ticket Here he goes, hits the ground running
