T Bone Burnett & Elvis Costello - Clown Around Town Lyrics

T Bone Burnett & Elvis Costello Lyrics

"Clown Around Town"

I'm a clown around town
Whatever I've done
I'm a clown around town
Whatever I do
I'm a jester and a joker with a jape or two
I'm a fool for you

I'm a clown around town
I've heard it said
I'm a clown around town
With eyes of red
I'm a puppet to your tune, a big buffoon
With a bucket of glitter
But I'm not bitter

Everybody knows me now
They've heard me say
I don't care about her
Since she went away

And I paint my smile beneath my rosy cheek
To cover my juggling technique
Spin these china plates 'til they shatter to the ground
Pick a glass up and drink it down

I'm a clown around town
Whatever I've done
I'm a clown around town
Whatever I do
I'm a jester and a joker with a jape or two
I'm a fool for you
I'm a fool for you

Everybody knows me now
They've heard me say
I don't care about her
Since she went away

And I paint my smile beneath my rosy cheek
To cover my juggling technique
Spin these china plates 'til they shatter to the ground
Pick up a glass and drink it down

I'm a clown around town
Whatever I've done
I'm a clown around town
Whatever I do
I'm a jester and a joker with a jape or two
I'm a fool for you
I'm a clown around town
I'm a clown around town
I'm a clown around tow
