Party Clown Lyrics

by Jenny Lewis

[Verse 1]
I met the Devil down in Austin
He gave me a Fuji apple
I took a bite and went out of my head
I was a girl in a black Corvette
Getting head in the shadows
I was a beetle floating in a bottle of red

[ Lyrics from: http://www.lyricenter.com/e117063-jenny_lewis~party_clown_lyrics.html ]
[Chorus]
I was a party clown
Party clown

[Verse 2]
I took a weightless bath
'Til my own laugh gave me the creeps
I watched a scorpion crawl across my feet
It's been a while, but we communicate psychically
Now you're at my door, trick or treat

[Chorus]
I'm a party clown
Party clown
I'm a party clown
Party clown

[Bridge]
And why can't you be my puzzle piece, baby
And now that you've cracked me open wide, to see
That I was living my life in stencil
But the rainbow was inside of me

[Chorus]
Party clown
Party clown
I'm a party clown
Party clown

[Post-Chorus]
Can you be my puzzle piece, baby?
When I cry like Meryl Streep?
And when I crack my head wide open
I wanna be next to you

[Chorus]
I'm a party clown
Party clown
I'm a party clown
Party clown
Party clown
