Elvis Costello & The Attractions Clowntime Is Over Lyrics

Tears on your blackmail
Written to ransom
A point of the fingernail
Says he's so handsome

Clowntime is over
Time to take over
While others just talk and talk
Somebody's watching where the others don't walk
Clowntime is over

A voice in the shadows
Says that his men know
He don't step back as expected
He's otherwise and unprotected

Chorus

Almost too good to be true
Who do you? What do you? Why do you do?
While everybody's hiding under covers,
Who's making lover's lane safe again for lovers?
