Standing on the side of the road near the overpass
With a sign around his neck that says
'Car wash, free balloons', he's a clown in broad daylight

He's waving at the people in cars who do a double take
And goad him on with their horns outside the car wash
Like a cartoon, he's a clown in broad daylight

Raising eyebrows and emotions
He don't phase some people at all
For everyday the circus is open, everything is alright
He's just a clown in broad daylight

Everything is alright for against the backdrop of ordinary life
It's the easy laugh that gets you through
Your working day and the hogwash
Sad but true, he's a clown in broad daylight

Yeah, he's waving at you
He's a clown, a clown in broad daylight

Da, da, da, da, da, da, da, da, da, ohh
Da, da, on and on and on, yeah
