Elvis Costello - Clown Strike Lyrics

Font:      
Align:    
  • Shell 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
  • Youll sit among her trophies
  • And pray to be abandoned
  • Till you dont know what hope is
  • Chorus:
  • But theres one thing that I had to keep inside
  • Because I was shaking
  • Why dont you get some pride
  • There was a clown strike
  • And the clowns threw down their tools
  • But you dont have to play so hard
  • And Im nobodys fool
  • You dont 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 its pandemonium
  • For the humble and the mighty
  • You dont 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
  • Were not living in a masquerade
  • Where you only have three wishes
  • It isnt easy to see
  • In a lifetime of mistaken kisses
  • Chorus
  • In this pandemonium
  • For the humble and the mighty
  • You dont have to tumble for me
  • Even a clown knows when to strike
