[Verse 1]
Neon hair that’s much too bright
Something isn’t right
Children should all gather round
But they run and hide

[Pre-Chorus 1]
A smiling face painted in place
Hiding the rage
Here comes a mace

[Chorus]
The party’s just began
And kids eat too much cake
We’re gonna have some fun
So run for heaven’s sake

[Post-Chorus]
'Cause Hell sent in the clowns
Of masquerade and murder
Yeah, hell sent in the clowns
Of laughter and of slaughter
Yeah, hell sent in the clowns

[Verse 2]
Lapel flowers squirt kids eyes
Now they’ve lost their sight
Clowns are funny, yes we are
We’re laughing as you die
[Pre-Chorus 2]
Exploding cigars take off an arm
Cry in alarm, they’re here to do harm

[Chorus]
The party’s just began
And kids eat too much cake
We’re gonna have some fun
So run for heaven’s sake

[Post-Chorus]
'Cause Hell sent in the clowns
Of masquerade and murder
Yeah, hell sent in the clowns
Of laughter and of slaughter
Yeah, hell sent in the clowns

[Bridge]
Clowns are coming
Clowns are coming
Clowns are coming
Clowns are coming

Clowns are coming
Clowns are coming
Clowns are coming
Clowns are coming
[Post-Chorus]
'Cause Hell sent in the clowns
Of masquerade and murder
Yeah, hell sent in the clowns
Of laughter and of slaughter

'Cause Hell sent in the clowns
Of masquerade and murder
Yeah, hell sent in the clowns
Of laughter and of slaughter
Yeah, hell sent in the clowns
