Clown and Bard Lyrics by Crux

Now, Ferment

2009

Raised themselves a child with knives and pepper spray
I found her in a railroad yard, I climbed in her suitcase
Yeah, we were young at first but she needed her space
I put away my guns, I would not run that chase
I got back on that train, I cut a deck of cards
I walked down cobble stones I found the Clown and Bard
If she’s asking for my address I’m staying at the bar
Another round of whiskey and I won’t be straying far
So raise your glasses high boys for verfremdungsteffect
I jumped into that pool, but my hair did not get wet
Now she cleans after the orchestra and I just paint the set
If she’s looking for the words she sure hasn’t found them yet
As I sing along the crowd begins to fade
Alice sits up front she spiked her lemonade
As they spill out on the streets she climbs up on the stages
But I’m still back in Utah with the paradigm parade
The Gestapo marching band, they fight against the sea
Duck behind the soundstage, drop LSD
Her prom date was a mannequin, or so she told me
He wore such a nice suit but he could not move his feet
We talked on the phone of coincidence
Curiosity betrayed indifference
In all my drunken glory, I still maintained defense
Alice hung up the phone and I laid down to rest
