Verse
GShe'll fix you with an Amiron cross
GAnd cover you up with Ampetals
GAnd hang you up with some Amamber beads
GAnd four or five precious Ammetals
GAnd in that black Amflamingo chair
GYou'll sit among her Amtrophies
GAnd pray to be Amabandoned
GTill you don't know what Amhope is
Pre-chorus
GBut there's one Cthing that I Emhad to keep Aminside
GBecause I was Cshaking
Why Emdon't you get some Ampride
Chorus
There was a Emclown strike
EmAnd the clowns threw down their tools
But you Cdon't have to play so hard
EmAnd I'm nobody's fool
You don't Ghave to go so Am7far
'Cause I Glove Am7you as you Gare Am7
Verse
The Gbig top is Amdeserted now
And the Gcircus girl Amrehearses
GShe knows how to Amturn their heads
And Gnot fall between Amtwo horses
But Gall that seems a Amsimple step
GIf only I were Amable
To Glove you like I Amwant to do
And Gnot by some times Amtable
Pre-chorus
GBut there's one Cthing that I Emhad to keep Aminside
GBecause I was Cshaking
Why Emdon't you get some Ampride
Chorus
There was a Emclown strike
EmAnd the clowns threw down their tools

And it's Cpandemonium
For the Am7humble and the Gmighty
You don't Amhave to Gtumble B Cfor me
CmEven a clown knows when to Emstrike
Verse
GTell me what you Amwant of me
Or are you Gterrified of Amfailure?
GYou put on a Amsuperstitious face
GBehind all this Amparaphernalia
GWe're not living in a Ammasquerade
Where Gyou only have three Amwishes
GIt isn't Ameasy to see
In a Glifetime of mistaken Amkisses

GBut there's one Cthing that I Emhad to keep Aminside
GBecause I was Cshaking
Why Emdon't you get some Ampride
