Clowntime Is Over – Elvis Costello and The Attractions
By
Tears on your blackmail Written to ransom A point of the fingernail Says that he’s handsome
[Chorus:] Clowntime is over Time to take cover While others just talk and talk Somebody’s watching where the others don’t walk Clowntime is over
A voice in the shadows Says that his men know He don’t step back as expected He’s otherwise and unprotected
[Chorus]
Almost too good to be true Who do you? why do you? what do you do? While everybody’s hiding under covers Who’s making lover’s lane safe again for lovers?
