I can hear the neighbours screaming
Kids are fed the husband's leaving
Can't ignore the shining chances
Sideways looks and second glances
And if you see a seagull wheeling
It's from the tip, it's so deceiving
Ocean is a full days travel
Road is paved with Chinese gravel
Don't know how I got so beaten down
Pushed around
And how I wound up in Clown town
This is Clown Town
Once a year a rocket staggers
Through the sky as people gather
Jaws drop down to picnic blankets
Bourbon cans in hi-vis jackets
Where's a reason to stop drinking?
Sun is high my yardarm's shrinking
Can't stand up from years of falling
Rafter in the shed is talking
I don't know how I got so beaten down
Pushed around
And how I wound up in Clown town
In this Clown Town
Break a generation tackle
If I could learn to pick my battles
Angry moment spur
Regiments against divisions
I can hear the neighbours screaming
4am someone's bleeding
Can't avoid the flying vases
AVO's Anger classes
I Don't know how I got so beaten down
Pushed around
Overlooked and plain worn-out
Then I wound up in Clown town
In this Clown Town
This is Clown Town
