Cathy's New Clown

Sometimes when you get mystic I have to leave the room Another accident statistic While the big bass drum goes boom There's an apocalypse now on Station Road If there's a nuclear winter, at least it'll snow Your talk turns all of me upside down You turned up my ticket at the lost and found And all I got was the current crown worn by Cathy's New Clown Our enemies are at the border We couldn't go back too soon Be a nice girl and don't take orders That's what they're saying in the back room You got a big black box that I can't get a look in And I wanna look at you but I don't get a look in I'm like a talking head with the sound turned down Or Pavlov's dog when he wasn't around I'm just a little bit lost so I'm heading downtown to be Cathy's New Clown One upon a time I didn't know you That's the way the story goes But how I wish, how I wish you'd let me show you That I love the lines but hate the clothes That's the way it goes
