LEADING MAN GETS LOST
Clouds roll in the scene begins
With a carousel and ocean's roar
Our spotlight finds a clown
Up to nothing and nothing more
Dancing of the moon lit waves
Rewrites the lines of shore
Clown had never been so close
To being this close before
He played the part
A time or two
The clown who missed
His rendezvous
But there is nothing
Up his sleeve
And love becomes
What you believe
Starlet searching mad as hell
Raging storm soaks her dress
She finds him on the carousel
With his white face all a mess
And the shadow on his cheeks
Breaks through the masquerade
"I see your face is all in streaks
Were you on an escapade"
I can see it in all the papers
"Leading man gets lost"
But then isn't all publicity
Cheap at any cost
Silver teardrop turns to a shower
Words are whispered in her hair
Close up of his squirting flower
He gives it to her
And proves that he still cares
The matinee's getting restless
They've been through this before
Credits fall through their embrace
Bright lights are out the door
