作词 : MacManus | |
She'll fix you with an iron cross | |
And cover you up with petals | |
And hang you up with some amber beads | |
And four or five precious metals | |
And in that black flamingo chair | |
You'll sit among her trophies | |
And pray to be abandoned | |
Till you don't know what hope is | |
Chorus: | |
But there's one thing that i had to keep inside | |
Because i was shaking | |
Why don't you get some pride | |
There was a clown strike | |
And the clowns threw down their tools | |
But you don't have to play so hard | |
And i'm nobody's fool | |
You don't have to go so far | |
'cause i love you as you are | |
The big top is deserted now | |
And the circus girl rehearses | |
She knows how to turn their heads | |
And not fall between two horses | |
But all that seems a simple step | |
If only i were able | |
To love you like i want to do | |
And not by some times table | |
Chorus | |
And it's pandemonium | |
For the humble and the mighty | |
You don't have to tumble for me | |
Even a clown knows when to strike | |
Tell me what you want of me | |
Or are you terrified of failure? | |
You put on a superstitious face | |
Behind all this paraphernalia | |
We're not living in a masquerade | |
Where you only have three wishes | |
It isn't easy to see | |
In a lifetime of mistaken kisses | |
Chorus | |
In this pandemonium | |
For the humble and the mighty | |
You don't have to tumble for me | |
Even a clown knows when to strike |
