[Intro] Red balloon White face paint Sewer grin Yeah I know your name [Verse 1] Monster creatures in the funhouse glass Every blink They just climb my back Bright red smile like a fresh-cut scar Strip mall hell in a stolen car Pennywise laughing from the storm drain Saying “you’ll float to ” like it’s my first name Turn the corner There’s another pale clown Blood on the shoes That’s Art the clown [Chorus] “You’ll float to You’ll float to” That’s what they told me now From the gutter to the ghost town Face to face with Art the clown “You’ll float to You’ll float to” Echoes in an empty crowd If the red nose doesn’t get you Then the white paint drags you down (down, down) [Verse 2] Candy stripe bag full of broken teeth Card tricks dealt with a rusted sheath Party store light on a dead-end block Laugh so quiet You can hear the clock Pennywise voice in the bathroom stall Spelling my name in a crimson crawl Turn off the tap But it still runs brown In the cracked mirror stands Art the clown [Chorus] “You’ll float to You’ll float to” That’s what they told me now From the gutter to the ghost town Face to face with Art the clown “You’ll float to You’ll float to” Echoes in an empty crowd If the red nose doesn’t get you Then the white paint drags you down (down, down) [Bridge] Pick a door Pick a card Pick a fear Pick a scar Every joke Hits too hard Every laugh Leaves a mark (yeah) [Chorus] “You’ll float to You’ll float to” That’s what they told me now From the gutter to the ghost town Face to face with Art the clown “You’ll float to You’ll float to” Echoes in an empty crowd If the red nose doesn’t get you Then the white paint drags you down (down, down)
