Escargot Blues

Oh, she's joining the circus as a part-time clown
Travelling from town to town to make her grandpa proud

Oh, she's putting on her makeup in the mirror
All the lions and the tigers in their cages whisper in her ear

Oh, get out
She's the only daughter of a big-time clown
Oh, get out
There's no money in family business now

Oh, she leaves her makeup on after dark
Crying on a bench, scaring passers-by in the park

All the kids, they run and scream
She's a salty dog at seventeen
I told her to leave but she wouldn't hear it from me

Oh, get out
She's the only daughter of a big-time clown
Oh, get out
There's no money in family business now

Oh, get out
She's the only daughter of a big-time clown
Oh, get out
There's no money in family business now
