Clowntime is over
Time to take cover
While others just talk and talk
Somebody's watching where the others don't walk.

The more things happen to you the more you can't
Tell or remember even what they were.

The contradictions cover such a range.
The talk would talk and go so far aslant.
You don't want madhouse and the whole thing there.
