Clownin’ Lyrics by Mary Prankster

Thickly Settled

2019

Don’t need to see your features, I know what you are
One of them creatures squeezing legions from a car
Your rictus grinning doesn’t spin a spell on me
Giving me shivers when I hear the charivari
Midway between the thing and imminent disaster
If there’s a ring you can be sure that there’s a master
I saw the elephant – you swore it was a mouse
Making my escapin’ while you’re papering the house
Because you’re clownin’
Bit of business getting twisted ‘til it’s done
A liberation decimates your ten-in-one
We got a fault, it’s lying well beneath the stars
There ain’t no arte in this commedia of ours
Overextended with the tension of a guy wire
Without a net to catch a Herbie from the high wire
All out and over got a handle on the brakes
Lammin’ on ya, Larry and I’m pulling up the stakes
Because you’re clownin’
It ain’t a theory, dearie – said it ‘cause I know so
On like a zanni but you’re acting like a bozo
There’s only ever been two stories goin’ ‘round
A man goes on a journey and the circus comes to town
And now you’re clownin’
You’re gonna go all-in
But you’re no harlequin
I’m done with dukkerin’
Step right up and hear another reason
