AFRAID OF CLOWNS song lyrics
by Joel Sattler

I have to hide
hide in the dark
I have to hide
when the circus comes to town
when I hear the calliope
I have to hide
because I am afraid of clowns

do they all have the plague?
have they all gone insane?
when they're up on the stage
have they all lost their brains

is it really make up
do they really look like that?
are the skinnies really skinny
are the fatties really fat?

when 20 of them pile out
of that tiny little car
my mind feels like it's gonna explode
like a stinky wet cigar

they call it coulrophobia
when they find me hiding
they call irrationality
I call it terrifying

my daddy says "what's wrong with you?"
and then he tries to beat me
but I can't stop and I can't sleep
because the clowns will eat me

I have to hide
hide in the dark
I have to hide
when the circus comes to town
when I hear the calliope
I have to hide
because I am afraid of clowns
