Bourbon Tabernacle Choir - Two Clowns lyrics

I used to think it funny to watch the creature in the ring I would laugh at every lion-taming fool But you know it'd be alright if a ballerina fell From a wire's height They got a safety net to make her landing cool So take the blindfold from yer eyes Take the candy floss out of yer mouth Because this is something you should know about Two clowns talking in the ear of disaster The crowd's breath is baited on the will of the master Two clowns all dressed up to usher in disaster What are you waiting for? You sweat to bring the hammer down and ring their shiny bell Got you spending cash so fast it makes you sick A pink and stuffed and fluffy prize is the cheapest way To divert your eyes You don't ever know the game is fixed So take the freakshow from yer mind Take the ignorance out of yer heart in which political act will you play yer part? Two clowns talking in the ear of disaster The crowd's breath is baited on the will of the master Two clowns all dressed up to usher in disaster What are you waiting for? I could not believe it when I walked around the grounds A vacant lot where the circus just had been It's a thrilling theatre of d**h Comepletely vanished, nothing left Seems like I'd forgotten everything I'd seen So I break the shackles on my cage I break the acceptance in my soul And I will not eat the meat they're putting in my bowl Two clowns talking in the ear of disaster The crowd's breath is baited on the will of the master Two clowns all dressed up to usher in disaster What are you waiting for?
