Well I don't know why I came here tonight I got the feeling that something ain't right I'm so scared in case I fall off my chair And I'm wondering how I'll get down the stairs Clowns to the left of me Jokers to the right, here I am Stuck in the middle with you Yes I'm stuck in the middle with you And I'm wondering what it is I should do It's so hard to keep this smile from my face Losing control, yeah, I'm all over the place Clowns to the left of me, Jokers to the right Here I am, Stuck in the middle with you. Well you started out with nothing and you're proud that you're a Self made man And your friends, they all come crawlin, slap you on the back and say Please Please Trying to make some sense of it all But I can see that it makes no sense at all Is it cool to go to sleep on the floor Cause I don't think that I can take anymore Clowns to the left of me Jokers to the right, here I am Stuck in the middle with you (Couplet instrumental) Well you started out with nothing and you're proud that you're a Self made man And your friends, they all come crawlin, slap you on the back and say Please Please Well I don't know why I came here tonight I got the feeling that something ain't right I'm so scared in case I fall off my chair And I'm wondering how I'll get down the stairs Clowns to the left of me Jokers to the right, here I am Stuck in the middle with you Caus'I am Stuck in the middle with you Stuck in the middle with you Here I am Stuck in the middle with you

À propos de la chanson

La chanson évoque un sentiment de confusion et de désorientation, où le protagoniste se retrouve coincé dans une situation inconfortable, entouré de personnages peu fiables et déroutants. Il ressent une inquiétude persistante, comme s'il manquait de contrôle sur ce qui l'entoure, tout en jonglant avec des apparences de jovialité. Le contexte est celui de moments de doute et d'incertitude, souvent rencontrés lors de rassemblements ou d'événements sociaux où la pression de bien paraître peut s'avérer accablante. Les références aux « clowns » et « jokers » symbolisent les complications et les faux-semblants qui peuvent surgir dans les relations, rendant la quête de la sérénité encore plus difficile.
