Clowntime Is Over Lyrics - Get Happy!! - Elvis Costello

Tears on your blackmail 

Written to ransom 

A point of the fingernail 

Says that he's handsome 

Clowntime is over 

Time to take cover 

While others just talk and talk 

Somebody's watching where the others don't walk 

Clowntime is over

5 Totally Underrated Christmas Songs 

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 watching where the others don't walk 

Clowntime is over 

Almost too good to be true 

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

While everybody's hiding under covers 

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

Clowntime is over 

Time to take cover 

While others just talk and talk 

Somebody's watching where the others don't walk 

Clowntime is over
