Cathy's New Clown - john wesley harding

作词：W. Stace

作曲：W. Stace

Sometimes when you get mystic

I have to leave the room

Another accident statistic

While the big bass drum goes boom

Theres an apocalypse now on station road

If theres a nuclear winter at least itll 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

Our enemies are at the border

We couldn't go back too soon

Be a nice girl and don't take orders

Thats what theyre 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 pavlovs dog when he wasnt around

I'm just a little bit lost so I'm heading downtown to be

One upon a time

I didnt know you

Thats 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

Thats the way it goes

Turn the speakers up to ten now

Listen to what he has to say

Watch out theres a body talking body-talk

A big mouth just gets in the way hey

When I'm with you theres something to it

You know the old lie and you can see through it

But now I'm alone and I'm homeward bound

Cover my tracks up and cover new ground

Put down the purse cos I'm buying this round

I'm putting pepper down for the pack of bloodhounds

And all I need is a single sound Ill be
