Deer Tick - Clownin Around Lyrics
Though I’ve walked down a crooked path
Then don’t mean it wasn’t cursed
My feeble heart was filled with wrath
My poison mind with thoughts perverse
And the devil is living my basement
And I know some day I’m gonna have to face him
But for now I keep my secrets with the night
As I breathe through this windy city
The devil he now rides upon my back
And all the boys here look mighty pretty
I need to fix and Lord I need it fast
I let my house guests rest in my crawl space
Don’t let anyone tell you that I’m a bad host
I take cover behind my white face paint
Uhuu, uhuu, uhuu!
And by now the hounds have surely caught my scent
In just a short time I’m no longer free
Oh, Lord you know I would repent
But now the devil he speaks for me
And the icy needle kisses my veins
As I kiss my dear sister goodbye
Now as I descend into the final flames
Is my turn to die

If I could sing like this you'd never be able to stop me. I'd be ordering McChickens like this.
True music as it should be
love from Knoxville TN
These lyrics, and that man, pierce my soul. Deep af.
NIRVANA
This should be in the new joker movie
Moving music! Thank you guys.
Bill Cosby brought me here
If you love Dennis Listen to Vincent Van Gold Available on itunes!
Is anyone else here from Murdered by Death because this was the up next on mine
This is awesome!! John's backing vocals at 0:47 are reminiscent of Jeff Tweedy's vocals in Uncle Tupelo
it's amazing how gifted they ALL are.
hit some feels with this one. not a cereal killer. but it's got allot meanings...
I love how they wrote this song about john wayne casey and the lyrics discribe him so well. And i love the singers voice. Great writing beautiful song
The excellent Nightowl Playlist on FB Brought me here love love love it
gives me the chills. for the longest I thought the song was about addiction... I guess in a way it is.
that's a strange...and scary...way to think about it. really makes you question any time someone justifies something by saying "it's natural."
even though this song is about a serial killer it soooo good
that makes it even better, to me
thanks again jam in the van :)))))
FUCK TALK ABOUT - THE MOVIE DELIVERANCE .
Why does this sound familliar?
its about john Wayne gacy
Anyone think it's about him being gay?
it's about John Wayne Gacy...
It’s about John Wayne Gacy, who dressed up as a clown for kids’ birthday parties, painted clowns, killed young men and buried them in the crawl space under his house, and was executed by lethal injection. The references are numerous.
great vocals. You got to do a duet with your uncle Paul.
i turned my son on to the Stones. He turned me on to Deer Tick.God I love great music.
Thank goodness there is still good music out there... 👌🏻👍🏻😎😊
+Tom Wolfe mmmm should of turned you both onto BUCK TICK --- HYPER LOVE CLIMAX LIVE- ON THE TUBE
+Tom Wolfe You might say this song is the Deer Tick equivalent to "Sympathy for the Devil"
Pretty cool..
Soooo good!!
seeing u destroyed everything..
Definitely about JWG.
This song is so eerie and beautiful! :D
Great song
i love this song! I'm playing it over and over again!
This guy should really sing a lot more
Dennis Tick ftw
@Semiautomaticforestelf Dennis is the sweetest dude on earth. Dennis Tick FTW!
Guys that was AWESOME.. Really, like Counting Crows, and The Grateful Dead all in one, if that's even fuckin possible...lol!!! great job..
👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻
Story of my life.
@thewerd1982 that's real clever. Really freaking clever bruh.
@Brad Beasley idiot
@brad k I won't argue that sir. Indeed I am. And what's even more satisfying is that you were offended by little ol me. Nice name though.
Well are you murderibg boys dressed as a clown, or what? Cus thats what the songs about and you got me curious
Dennis is the best....
Great song... Great Band... Fun to see live!
No great beard?
is this about john wayne gacy? weird but a great song none the less.
+paco el diablo hide behind my white face paint?? cmon its so obvious
+monty cardman not to mention "these boys here look mighty pretty" didnt know heroin could be aroused by young gay men???? damn..
Ben Widner so stupid
He let's his guest rest in his crawl space? White face paint? The boys here look mighty pretty? Songs called "Clowning Around" definitely about JWG
@dirtdogpac the video is fact and it's his turn to die Lethal injection
I agree. His range is unbelievable. Hands down the best voice in the group.
Keep your chin up Dennis! it might not get better but it sure as hell gets more dull.
I love every version of this song I've heard. So good.
I agree, I don't like the studio version but I can listen to this ovr n over!
love love love
john wayne gacy
I like this version more than the original I think. It sounds better with John doing the bottom harmony.
No kidding... dude has a great voice, never knew it was him singing this song. Wow
Every live version of this blows the studio version away. You guys need to let that husky drummer boy sing more.
BIG BONED!
Its a lion!!!!
That was the greatest thing. I love the vocals.
Gacy songs.
That WAS awesome
get Tim Noyes on here!!
yeeeehawwwww!
