Clown Car

Climb into the clown car / Let's all go for a ride

Let's see how many spectacles / We can fit inside

Slip into those big red shoes / And honk that orange nose

Climb into the clown car / Let's see how fast she goes

There's a self-proclaimed strongman in the front seat

Says he can tear a phonebook clean in half

He’s flexing all for show cause he don’t want us all to know

He can’t bend steel with his hands but he can surely bend the facts

There’s a man juggling flames riding shotgun

Bragging he’s the best at handling fire

But his hands and face are burned so I sure can’t take his word

And I’m certain he can’t even change a tire

Climb into the clown car / Let's all go for a ride

Let's see how many spectacles / We can fit inside

Slip into those big red shoes / And honk that orange nose

Climb into the clown car that’s going off the road

There’s a pair of conjoined twins in the backseat

But the clowns insist we call them Siamese

And the opinions that they hold will change depending on the road

And depending on the weather and the rising of the seas

There’s a tightrope walker standing on the console

He’s managing the clown car balance sheet

And every word and breath is a death defying step

That’s keeping us on the edge of our seat

Climb into the clown car / Let's all go for a ride

Let's see how many spectacles / We can fit inside

Slip into those big red shoes / And honk that orange nose

Climb into the clown car just waiting to explode

We got bells and whistles and ballistic missiles

And they’ve filled the tank with sugar cubes and rage

There are chimps on tambourines taking methamphetamines

And the map they’ve got is upside down and the names have all been changed

They’ve got honking horns so everybody’s watching

Flashing lights that change from red to green

Driving in and out of ditches, popping tires and flipping switches

It’s the biggest bunch of clowns you've ever seen

Climb into the clown car

Let’s all go for a ride

They took away the safety belts

The cost was much too high

Step into those big red shoes and get your make up right

Climb into the clown car, hooray we’re gonna die
