Paint It Black

Select language to translate this lyric
You donât know this song,
But I caught you trying to sing along.
Your mouth is moving but the words are all wrong.
False signifiers.
Like little liars.
Send in the clowns
Numb from the neck down.
If you donât know now, chances are you never will.
The pitcherâs full, but your plants are wilting on the windowsill.
False signifiers.
Like little liars.
Send in the clowns
Numb from the neck down.
You talk, and I wince,
But youâve got everybody else convinced;
Youâve memorized and rehearsed your lines,
While Iâve forgotten most of mine.
You know all the steps, but youâve got no swing.
Itâs an âI know why the caged bird sings,â type of thing.
No swing.
