Paving stones and marrow bones
A portrait of a clown
Desert heat, my sunless heart
Don't run me down

Don't take me away from this dream
Even though it's not what it seems

Slide trombones, alien clones
Of the saddest clown
Desert heat, my faithless heart
Don't take me down

Please let me continue this dream
Even though it can't be believed

Paving stones and marrow bones
A portrait of a clown
Desert heat, my sunless heart
Don't run me down
