IF THIS MOVIE'S OVER
I WISH YOU'D LET ME KNOW
I SOMETIMES MISS THE REAL BIG HINTS
WHILE THE CREDITS ROLL

THERE'S FEW THINGS WORSE THAN STANDING STILL
WHILE EVERYONE MOVES ON
YOU END UP SLOUCHED OVER A BAR
WONDERIN WHAT WENT WRONG

SO CLEAR THE TRASH AND PAST
AND MOVE THIS THING ALONG
WAKE UP NEXT TO SOMEONE
WHERE YOU KNOW THAT YOU BELONG

AND EVEN WHEN YOU SHAKE IT LOOSE
PARTS STILL HANG AROUND
CAUSE THAT'S HOW IT GOES WITH
LOVERS AND CLOWNS

SOME MISTAKES STILL HAVE A NAME
FOLLOW YOU AT NIGHT
WAKE YOU FROM A SWEAT FILLED DREAM
AND FILL YOUR HEAD WITH FRIGHT

SOME PEOPLE LIKE A SLATE THAT'S CLEAN
AND OTHERS LIKE IT FULL
BUT MOST JUST WALK AROUND LIKE ME
WITH A SLATE HALF FULL OF HOLES

SOMETIMES YOU CAN MAKE BELIEVE
YOU NEVER HAD A CHOICE
YOU KICK AND SCREAM TO DISAPPEAR
AND WIND UP WITH NO VOICE

AND EVEN WHEN YOU SHAKE IT LOOSE
PARTS STILL HANG AROUND
CAUSE THAT'S HOW IT GOES WITH
LOVERS AND CLOWNS
