[Verse 1]
Tears on your blackmail
Written to ransom
A point of the fingernail
Says it's so handsome
[Chorus]
Clown time is over
Time to take cover
While others just talk and talk
Somebody's watching where the others don't walk
Clown time is over
[Verse 2]
A voice in the shadows
Says that his men know
He don't step back as expected
He's otherwise and unprotected
[Chorus]
Clown time is over
Time to take cover
While others just talk and talk
Somebody's watching where the others don't walk
Clown time is over
[Verse 3]
Almost too good to be true
Who do you? Why do you? What do you do?
Everybody's hiding under covers
Who's making lovers' lane safe again for lovers?
[Chorus]
Clown time is over
Time to take cover
While others just talk and talk
Somebody's watching where the others don't walk
Clown time is over
