If you listen closely to the lyrics, "Tracks of My Tears" and "Tears Of A Clown" are practically two sides of the same mirror. They both tell of enduring heartbreak with the appearance of laughter. Many people did during that era. One of many reasons why this music will endure long after we're gone.
