Elvis Costello — Clowntime Is Over Version 2

[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? What do you? Why do you do? While 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 Clown time is over Clown time is over
