Clowntime Is Over No. 2 Lyrics - Elvis Costello

Tears on your blackmail 

Written to ransom 

A point of that fingernail 

Says, he's so handsome 

Clowntime is over, time to take cover 

While others just talk and talk 

Somebody's watchin' 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

Clowntime is over, time to take cover 

While others just talk and talk 

Somebody's watchin' where the others don't walk 

Clowntime is over 

Almost too good to be true 

Who do you, what do you, why do you do? 

While everybody's hidin' under covers 

Who's makin' lover's lane safe again for lovers?

Clowntime is over, time to take cover 

While others just talk and talk 

Somebody's watchin' where the others don't walk 

Clowntime is over 

Clowntime is over 

Clowntime is over
