[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
