Intro

Verse/Chorus:

 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 the go

 but tonight we'll leave

all our lovers behind

 and try to live a quiet life

 my love dress 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 spirit songs

 we'll drive and reach the hills by dawn

 my love is dressing me like a clown

 but tonight we'll leave

all our lovers behind

 and try to live a quiet life

 margot dress me like a clown

tonight we'll drink

into an early grave

 we'll laugh, we will not be safe

 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

 reflect in the streets

 and your blue eyes

 out of the roof

 wait to grow up

 turn me around and lock me up

 baby you are an ass

 a snake in the grass

 vanity oozes out your pores
