I guess it's funnier from where you're standing 
Cause from over here I missed the joke 
Clear the way for my crash landing 
I've done it again 
Another number for your notes

I'd be smiling if I wasn't so desperate 
I'd be patient if I had the time 
I could stop and answer all of your questions 
As soon as I find out 
How I can move from the back of the line

I'll be your clown 
Behind the glass 
Go 'head and laugh 
Cause it's funny 
I would too if I saw me 
I'll be your clown 
On your favourite channel 
My life's a circus circus 
Round in circles 
I'm selling out tonight

I'd be less angry if it was my decision 
And the money was just rolling in 
If I had more than my ambition 
I'll have time for 'Please' 
I'll have time for 'Thank you' 
As soon as I win

From a distance my choice is simple 
From a distance I can entertain 
So you can see me 
I put make-up on my face 
But there's no way you can feel it 
From so far away
