I think your time's finally up
Soon you'll be down in a graveyard
Karma is getting her job done
No, you don't got nowhere to run
You had your chance to come clean, redeem
So don't claim you had good intentions
My head hurts; your heart's ice
My worst vice is vengeance
Tell me why the divine should spare you
Tell why I shouldn't pray for your downfall
Give me one reason why my dagger
Shouldn't end up jammed in your guts
Tell me why the dice should have mercy
Take your time to explain that you're different
Give me one reason when you die
Not to shout
CLOWN DOWN!
Ah ah-ah
Clown down
Ha, ha, ha
CLOWN DOWN!
Ah
I really shouldn't be surprised
You haven't changed just one bit
You just learned how to disguise
Can't say I didn't know from the start
That everything 'bout you was based off of lies
You're fuckin' runnin' out of time
'Cause I lost my mind
And no, I won't think twice
And I know that the universe could've taken it in its own hands
But I'm taking it in mine
Tell me why the divine should spare you
Tell why I shouldn't pray for your downfall
Give me one reason why my dagger
Shouldn't end up jammed in your guts
Tell me why the dice should have mercy
Take your time to explain that you're different
Give me one reason when you die
Not to shout
CLOWN DOWN!
I know
That need for revenge makes your
Heart rot
But I can't stand shit when it's wrong
And I fucking promise you
It won't last long
Tell me why the divine should spare you
Tell why I shouldn't pray for your downfall
Give me one reason why my dagger
Shouldn't end up jammed in your guts
Tell me why the dice should have mercy
Take your time to explain that you're different
Give me one reason when you die
Not to shout
CLOWN DOWN!
Ah ah-ah
Clown down
Ha, ha, ha
Oh,
CLOWN DOWN!
