clowns who never lost their laughter

lyrics

long ago as wanna be mavericks
trying to light our little matches
artwork and music blended
words meant more than the singer intended
we prayed for the day we were let in the club
to cherish the sacred ticket stub

time flew so much faster
once in the rye, now the catcher
we're still chasing after
clowns who never lost their laughter

through the years we learned the secrets
learned the chords, learned the sequence
hard work and friendship married
love weighed more than the gear we carried
we held on tight 'til the dream came true
and time would tell what the future knew

time flew so much faster
once in the rye, now the catcher
we're still chasing after
clowns who never lost their laughter

after all it doesn't matter
if we get rich or just get fatter
inside some minor changes
the major theme just rearranges
we fish for the ones who can take the joke
and laugh 'til we go up in smoke

time flew so much faster
once in the rye, now the catcher
we're still chasing after
clowns who never lost their laughter
