I am alive, I am alive
and that is the best that I can do
But Gomer you lied
You swore you were mine
I'd take you back a thousand times.
Talk of the town, you've been around
If he is the man you want then you'll 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 asp, a snake in the grass
Vanity seeps from out your pores,
And baby it's time to pay for my crime.
Nothing I'd say could make you mine.
Either sing it in key or run into me.
I can think 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, dressed me like a clown.
Tonight we'll drink into an early grave
We'll laugh, but we will not be saved.
Someone has dressed us all like clowns.
Darling it's sin, where do I begin
Putting your contact lenses in
You say the lights scurry like mice
Reflecting the streets in your blue eyes.
I'm in the roof, way to grow up
Turn me around and love me up.
Baby you are an asp, a snake in the grass
Vanity oozes out your pores.
