Clowns in my Coffee

I’d rather cry than be depressed
I’d rather lie than be my best
I’d rather try to be myself less
I’d rather die than confess

With every move, I pain myself
With every effort, I drain myself
With every hater, I love myself
With every lover, I hate myself

Everybody hates a clown
Everybody dies and drowns
Everybody hates a party
Everybody loves a funeral

I’d rather love than be estranged
I’d rather hate than take the blame
I’d rather quit than do this again
I’d rather pretend that this rhymes

With every light, I can stop myself
With every dream, I can love myself
With every statement, contradict myself
With every syllable, I’ll make this rhyme too long

Everybody hates a clown
Everybody dies and drowns
Everybody hates a party
Everybody loves a funeral

Ahh, ahh, ahh, ahh
Ahh, ahh, ahh, ahh

I’d rather die than be depressed
I’d rather be confined than be repressed
I’d rather try than hate myself less
I’d rather die than be like the rest

With every movement, I best myself
With every feeling, I molest myself
With every drug, I depress myself
With every crime, I arrest myself

Everybody hates a clown
Everybody dies and drowns
Everybody throws a party
Everybody throws a funeral

I had a dream there were clowns in my coffee
(Clowns in my coffee, clowns in my coffee)
I had a dream there were clowns in my coffee
(Clowns in my coffee, clowns in my coffee)
