Dress Me Like a Clown

I am alive
I am alive
and that is the best that I can do
you told me you lied
you swore you were mine
I took you back a thousand times
talk of the town
you’ve been around
if he is the man you want then go
but tonight we’ll leave
all our lovers behind
and try to live a quiet life
my love has dressed me like a clown
you are an ass
a snake in the grass
vanity seeps from out your pores
and baby it’s time
to pay for my crime
nothing I say can make you mine
you either sing it in key
or run into me
I can fake it as good as you
but tonight we’ll leave
all our stupid songs
we’ll drive and reach the hills by dawn
my love has dressed me like a clown
tonight we’ll leave
all our lovers behind
and try to live a quiet life
margot, you dress me like a clown
tonight we’ll drink
into an early grave
we’ll laugh, but we will never be saved
someone has dressed us all like clowns
darling it’s sin
where do i begin?
putting the contact lenses in
you say the lights
scurry like mice
reflecting the streets in your blue eyes
out on the roof
waiting for love
turn me around and lock me up
baby you are an ass
a snake in the grass
vanity oozes out your pores
Oooh, ooooh
Oooh, ooooh
