throw an elbow, cut me off
stand too close, begin to cough
lead your fans to the grave
but tell them they're your fave
whip them up, set them loose
give them guns and take a noose
see the city, burn it down
you are there, wonder clown
wonder clown
wonder clown
used to make us laugh
now we scream
and banish love
the ship is going down
wonder clown...
watch tv, they're all sad
the children make them mad
it once was better, they will say
but now it's gone away
shake a fist, clutch a pearl
first in line at the end of the world
waters rise, most will drown
you are there, my wonder clown
you are there, you are there
my wonder clown
wonder clown
wonder clown
man, we used to laugh
now we cry
into the night
the ship is going down
wonder clown
by the door, the jar holds more
than eleanor's remains
see her grin, once again
that's what the doctor ordered
shake a fist, clutch a pearl
first in line at the end of the world
waters rise, most will drown
you are there, my wonder clown
you are there, you are there
my wonder clown
