I couldn't make this stuff up if I tried I do not know where to start Feels like a dream Seems like a movie scene And you always play the same part I'll hit the ground Play the fool Play the clown And you keep on playing the star Star I think you like things A little bittersweet Tragedy has its charm Maybe you'd like to be Swept off your feet Stepping black and white Off some street car So I'll hit the ground Play the fool Lay the clown And you keep on playing the star Star All I can offer's A camera and stage But baby, remember my heart I'm in the wings In the pit losing face You got the lead role Wherever you are So I'll hit the ground Play the fool Play the clown And you keep on playing the star Star
