Class Clowns

[Verse 1]
The city's empty and the streets are wet
In the twilight I can see my trembling breath
Two blocks away a man just thought about death
And he’s laughing at the top of his lungs

[Verse 2]
The clubs are quiet and the churches closed
My dreams and reason are properly opposed
Like the petal, stem and thorn of the rose
And fact versus fiction

[Chorus]
Class clowns they never give it up
Mess around with all this stupid stuff
Class clowns they never get enough

[Verse 3]
Billboards and cemeteriеs and shopping marrs
Wait for the corpses in their company cars
Christ, if I should еver sink that far
Promise me you'll kill me

[Chorus]
But class clowns they never give it up
Mess around with all that stupid stuff Class clowns they never get enough

[Verse 4]
Now my TV dials are spinning like wheels
One more obligatory late night deal
The smile spreads easy like a whore in high heels
And even he knows it ain't working-

[Chorus]
The class clowns they never give it up
Mess around with all that stupid stuff
Class clowns they never get It
