The Cowboy and the Clown

Well look out honey, he's coming in hot
 Shooting like a star in the Western sky
 Looking for a place to crash and burn
 And it's your turn
 Well next thing you know he's coming in low
 Saying he ain't got nowhere else to go
 You open your heart and he stumbles on in, leaves you dry again
 There's a guy here on white horse, riding through your mind
 He's the man you always wanted, but just can't seem to find
 But you're afraid to be alone, and this guy keeps coming around
 So you give up on the cowboy and settle for a clown
 Who drags you down
 Well you look in the mirror in the middle of the night
 Counting every flaw in the fluorescent light
 You beat yourself up more than he ever will
 When we get your fill
 There's a guy here on white horse, riding through your mind
 He's the man you always wanted, but just can't seem to find
 But you're afraid to be alone, and this guy keeps coming around
 So you give up on the cowboy and settle for a clown
 Who's dragging you down
 Well how you gonna fly holding that stone?
 If this is love, then you're better off alone
 Sometimes it comes down to sink or swim
 Save yourself or go down with him
 Look out honey, he's coming in hot
