I am alive 
I am alive 
and that is the best that I can do 

you told me you lied 
you swore you were mine 
I took you back a thousand times 

talk of the town 
you've been around 
if he is the man you want then go 

but tonight we'll leave 
all our lovers behind 
and try to live a quiet life 
my love has dressed me like a clown 

you are an ass 
a snake in the grass 
vanity seeps from out your pores 

and baby it's time 
to pay for my crime 
nothing I say can make you mine 

you either sing it in key 
or run into me 
I can fake it as good as you 

but tonight we'll leave 
all our stupid songs 
we'll drive and reach the hills by dawn 
my love has dressed me like a clown 

tonight we'll leave 
all our lovers behind 
and try to live a quiet life 
margot, you dress me like a clown 

tonight we'll drink 
into an early grave 
we'll laugh, but we will never be saved 
someone has dressed us all like clowns 

darling it's sin 
where do i begin? 
putting the contact lenses in 

you say the lights 
scurry like mice 
reflecting the streets in your blue eyes 

out on the roof 
waiting for love 
turn me around and lock me up 

baby you are an ass 
a snake in the grass 
vanity oozes out your pores 

Oooh, ooooh 
Oooh, ooooh
