Standing on the side of the road near the overpass
   With a sign around his neck that says
   "Carwash, free balloons", he's a clown in broad daylight
  
   He's waving at the people in cars who do a double-take
   And goad him on with their horns outside the carwash
   ike a cartoon, he's a clown in broad daylight
  
   Raising eyebrows and emotions
   He don't phase some people at all
   For everyday the circus is open
   Everything is alright
   It's just a clown in broad daylight
  
   Everything is alright
   For against the backdrop of ordinary life it's the easy laugh
   That gets you through your working day and the hogwash
   Aad but true, he's a clown in broad daylight
  
   Yeah he's waving at you
   He's a clown, a clown in broad daylight
