Clown Strike - Elvis Costello (埃尔维斯 科斯特洛)[00:00:00]

She'll fix you with an iron 'cross[00:00:12]

And cover you up with petals[00:00:14]

And hang you up with some amber beads[00:00:17]

And four or five precious metals[00:00:20]

And in that black flamingo chair[00:00:23]

Youll sit among her trophies[00:00:26]

And pray to be abandoned[00:00:29]

Till you don't know what hope is[00:00:32]

But theres one thing that I had to keep inside[00:00:35]

Because I was shaking[00:00:40]

Why don't you get some pride[00:00:43]

There was a clown strike[00:00:45]

And the clowns threw down their tools[00:00:49]

But you don't have to play so hard[00:00:52]

And I'm nobodys fool[00:00:55]

You don't have to go so far[00:00:57]

'Cause I love you as you are[00:01:00]

The big top is deserted now[00:01:07]

And the circus girl rehearses[00:01:10]

She knows how to turn their heads[00:01:13]

And not fall between two horses[00:01:15]

But all that seems a simple step[00:01:18]

If only I were able[00:01:21]

To love you like I want to do[00:01:24]

And not by some times table[00:01:27]

But theres one thing[00:01:30]

That I had to keep inside[00:01:33]

Because I was shaking[00:01:36]

Why don't you get some pride[00:01:38]

There was a clown strike[00:01:41]

And the clowns threw down their tools[00:01:44]

But you don't have to play so hard[00:01:47]

And I'm nobodys fool[00:01:50]

You don't have to go so far[00:01:53]

'Cause I love you as you are[00:01:56]

And it's pandemonium[00:02:02]

For the humble and the mighty[00:02:05]

You don't have to tumble for me[00:02:08]

Even a clown knows when to strike[00:02:11]

Tell me what you want of me[00:02:20]

Or are you terrified of failure[00:02:23]

You put on a superstitious face[00:02:26]

Behind all this paraphernalia[00:02:29]

Were not living in a Masquerade[00:02:32]

Where you only have three wishes[00:02:35]

It isn't easy to see[00:02:39]

In a lifetime of mistaken kisses[00:02:41]

But theres one thing[00:02:44]

That I had to keep inside[00:02:47]

Because I was shaking[00:02:50]

Why don't you get some pride[00:02:53]

There was a clown strike[00:02:56]

And the clowns threw down their tools[00:02:59]

But you don't have to play so hard[00:03:02]

And I'm nobodys fool[00:03:05]

You don't have to go so far[00:03:07]

'Cause I love you as you are[00:03:10]

In this pandemonium[00:03:16]

For the humble and the mighty[00:03:19]

You don't have to tumble for me[00:03:22]

Even a clown knows when to strike[00:03:26]
