Retarded Disfigured Clown Lyrics

by Blue October

(spoken)
Learning to love life by living through loss and mistakes
Lessons learned then gradually surfacing
Letting go, stripping naked to scream
I am not perfect, nor do I strive to be
I am alive in this world of face-first falls and public breakdowns
I'm a retarded, disfigured clown
Dying to be heard for the simple art of letting this heavy wall finally fall
I'm an equal being of no race or color
A hallucination if you will

[ Lyrics from: http://www.lyricenter.com/e53559-blue_october~retarded_disfigured_clown_lyrics.html ]
Sneaking into the lives of strangers and letting them fall apart
To a new rhythm, just to feel better
