I am alive 

I am alive 

and that is the best that i can do 



you told me you lied 

you swore you were mine 

i took you back a thousand times 



talking a town 

you've been around 

if he is the man you want the go 



but tonight we'll leave 

all our lovers behind 

and try to live a quiet life 

my love is dressing me like a clown 



you are an ass 

a snake in the grass 

and he seeps from out your pores 



and baby it's time 

to pay for my crime 

nothing i say can make you mine 



you either sing it in key 

or run into me 

i can fake it as good as you 



but tonight we'll leave 

all our spirit songs 

we'll drive and reach the hills by dawn 

my love is dressing me like a clown 



but tonight we'll leave 

all our lovers behind 

and try to live a quiet life 

margot dress me like a clown 



tonight we'll drink 

into an early grave 

we'll laugh, we will not be safe 

someone has dressed us all like clowns 



darling it's in 

where do i begin? 

putting the contact lenses in 



you say the lights 

scurry like mice 

reflect on the streets in goo goo eyes 



out on the roof 

wait to grow up 

turn me around and lock me up 



baby you are an ass 

a snake in the grass 

then he oozes out your pores 



Oooh, ooooh 

Oooh, ooooh
