Mr Sketchy, I'll see you later
Glad you let me put this on paper
You creep through my soul once more
It creeps when I go door to door to door
Mr Blackthumb, who plays the upstrum
He is Wilson, bashed up the big drum
He's flaking, alienating
And taking, commiserating
Pre-Chorus
Lay me down
Playing the clown
Coz I'm not mad
All this roughed up sleeping
and it's time
I tried to close my eyes
Which now don't half look like mine
And I've been up self seeking
but it's time
I tried to close my eyes
so I can see myself shine
Verse
Chill me out, this place is clinical
an energy vampire sucking on me
All the things I do when I'm alone
I think I'm crazy on my own
Walk around, back and forth
go up and down, south then north
Ring-a-ding-ding-phone it makes me shiver
I exercise my face in the mirror
Pre-Chorus
Lay me down
Playing the clown
Coz I'm not mad
All this roughed up sleeping
and it's time
I tried to close my eyes
Which now don't half look like mine
And I've been up self seeking
but it's time
I tried to close my eyes
so I can see myself shine
Bridge
It's here,
a bitter blues it sits here
I got no idea how it got here
like stonehenge, stonehenge and the sun
I took 'em, I took 'em and I never felt better
What about the time
when you said I was a traitor
I gave my last rolo to you
So
Lay me down
Playing the clown
Coz I'm not mad
All this roughed up sleeping
and it's time
I tried to close my eyes
Which now don't half look like mine
And I've been up self seeking
but it's time
I tried to close my eyes
so I can see myself shine
