[Verse 1] I roll in on rubber feet Painted grin, factory neat White gloves, red bow, fresh-made skin You laugh once, then I begin My cheek plates shine like candy shell My eyes blink blue, then black as hell I bow so sweet, I twirl so slow Then snap my jaw and let it go [Pre-Chorus] Clap-clap, hear my heels Round and round, the panic wheels You want a joke? I want the door Too late now I’m at your floor [Chorus] I’m the clown in the room (ha-ha, ha-ha) I come bloom with a boom (ha-ha, ha-ha) Red nose, bad joke Cold hands, broke hope I’m the clown in the room And I don’t leave soon [Verse 2] My smile’s sewn with silver thread Pull one side, I tilt my head Balloon dogs hiss when I get near I tuck your prayer behind my ear I keep one flower in my chest It opens wide for every guest You call me toy, you call me freak I call that fear a tasty treat [Pre-Chorus] Clap-clap, hear my heels Round and round, the panic wheels You want a joke? I want the door Too late now I’m at your floor [Chorus] I’m the clown in the room (ha-ha, ha-ha) I come bloom with a boom (ha-ha, ha-ha) Red nose, bad joke Cold hands, broke hope I’m the clown in the room And I don’t leave soon [Bridge] Some nights I almost feel your hand Some nights I almost understand Then my red light starts to glow And the programming says go So I grin with my perfect teeth And sweep my feet beneath your feet If you hear that music call Don’t run, baby I want it all [Final Chorus] I’m the clown in the room (ha-ha, ha-ha) I come bloom with a boom (ha-ha, ha-ha) Red nose, bad joke Cold hands, broke hope I’m the clown in the room And I don’t leave soon I’m the clown in the room (ha-ha, ha-ha) I come bloom with a boom (ha-ha, ha-ha)
