lyrics

This will sound familiar to the connoisseur, of tales of urban lore.
There’s two parents getting ready to go out for the night, here’s a babysitter
knocking at the door. They’ve got some instructions for her before they leave
they tell her what time they’ll be back. She can watch T.V upstairs if she likes
‘cos the one downstairs is out of whack.
The hour is getting late, children rest their weary heads. Time to relax.
Stretched out on the parents bed, ‘midst the clutter stacked up in the corner
of the room, something seems out of place. There’s a half man grease-painted
harlequin with the smile of a ragdoll jester’s face.
And the whole scene is quite unsettling she’s got chills from the dwarf
clown’s stare she can’t quite seem to get comfortable knowing, it’s sitting
right over there. She glances back and forth ‘tween the face and the screen,
but she can’t be sure, was that a twitch or a wink or the blink of an eye or is
her mind playing tricks on her?
Meanwhile at a restaurant all the way across town the main course was
divine. They’re sitting there sipping lovingly on their second bottle of wine.
And the waiter comes with a phone call. They think, “Oh god, what now?”
It’s the babysitter asking if she can move or cover up the statue of the half
grown clown. And they say: “Melissa, what do you mean!? There’s nothing
like that in our house!” And the babysitter screams.
Now they’re driving home, and it comes on the news about the escaped
midget serial killer in big clown shoes. Big clown shoes.
