Wake From a Dream Ten Word Challenge

The clowns danced the band played what a flamboyant sight and sound they made.
Luscious lady's parading their amble wears  ambivalent to the men's stares.
A clown got a bit to tactile and  swiftly received a clout round the ear. 
An arcane organ then plays a bittersweet tune and a clown sits down to cry.
He clasps his hands in prayer an intercessor between man and god.
But it seems god was quiescent and proves quintessence he not of this realm.
My faith broken I commit self immolation and pass into the light
and then I wake, I really should stop taking drugs.
