Drown the Clown by They Might Be Giants Lyrics

Turn that distraction down
Time to play drown the clown
Here's the problem, the present job is
To drown the clown
The weather woman's trying to tell us something
Turn that awful distraction down
Time to play drown the clown

Drown (Drown)
Drown (Drown)
Drown (Drown)
The clown (Drown)
Drown (The)
The (Clown)
Clown

Someone's been celebrating too early or late
Someone hands you a note, can't tell you are busy now
Your ears are ringing from this idiotic singing
You were talking, not them
Now where were you? Oh yeah
Can't resist this rabbit hole
Can't deny this troll
The weather woman's yelling something at us
Maybe all this messing is window dressing
But that's the job

Drown (Drown)
Drown (Drown)
Drown (Drown)
The clown (Drown)
Drown (The)
The (Clown)
Clown

Everyone heard what the clown just called you
They surround
You wonder who'll be the holder
And hold the beer
The weather woman's yelling something
Go remind them
You were talking, not them
Now where were you? Oh yeah
