The Clown's Grin

[Verse]
Painted smile wide open
Colors dripping in the dark
Balloon animals twisting in the fog
A laugh that cracks like glass
[Prechorus]
Hey little one don’t you cry
Hey little one come inside
[Chorus]
The clown’s grin hides the beast within
Run run but it’s pulling you in
The clown’s grin feeds on your fear
Laughs so loud but it’s all you hear
[Verse 2]
Sticky fingers red with rust
Footsteps echo in the sewer dust
Whispers crawling up the drain
Every giggle cuts like rain
[Prechorus]
Hey little one can’t you see
Hey little one it’s just me
[Chorus]
The clown’s grin hides the beast within
Run run but it’s pulling you in
The clown’s grin feeds on your fear
Laughs so loud but it’s all you hear
