Cathys New Clown Lyrics by John Wesley Harding

Cathys New Clown Lyrics

    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

    Turn the speakers up to ten now
    Listen to what he has to say
    Watch out there's a body talking body-talk
    A big mouth just gets in the way, hey
    When i'm with you, there's 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, i'll be
    Cathy's new clown
    Here he comes.....
