Steve Wynn - Dandy in Disguise lyrics

when he was born, he was scorned, it was sworn that he'd end up no good he was torn from the womb much too soon he'd go back if he could well look at the clown in his vest look at the clown, he looks his best step right up! surprise! it's the dandy in disguise step right up, surprise it's the dandy in disguise always outrageous, never contagious, he'd sit home alone and he'd cry cause when a fool isn't cool they just hang him on a line and watch him die well look at the clown he learned the score

look at the clown a clown no more step right up, surprise it's the dandy in disguise and the dandy isn't sure that there's a cure for his malaise another pie in the face another time and another place, yeah Sometimes you get hurt in a flowered shirt and big floppy boots you get tired of the edge, back off from the ledge and run home with the loot look at the clown something's changed look at the clown rearranged step right up, surprise it's the dandy in disguise
