My money's gone my tank is empty

This dope-filled life has got the best of me

Wait this can't be right

But it's all written in black & white (black & white)

I've been looking for the clown

That's brought me up and dragged me down

I've hocked my life and all my things

For a beat up pair of broken wings

That won't fly

Ain't no way around it

There ain't no way around it

My crutch is gone my baby left me

Took what I had to Tampa Bay

Forget, No! I'll have my time

Meanwhile I'm spaced out of my mind

I've been looking for the clown

That's brought me up and dragged me down

I've hocked my life and all my things

For a beat up pair of broken wings

That won't fly

Ain't no way around it

There ain't no way around it

My crutch is gone my baby left me

Took what I had to Tampa Bay

Forget, No! I'll have my time

Meanwhile I'm spaced out of my mind

I've been looking for the clown

That's brought me up and dragged me down

I've hocked my life and all my things

For a beat up pair of broken wings

That won't fly

Ain't no way around it

There ain't no way around it
