[Verse 1]
Spaceship circus tent
Parked on the blacktop
Cotton candy cocoons
Hanging from the top
They're just a bunch of clowns
With painted crooked grins
I laughed until they turned
And the trouble moved in
[Pre-Chorus]
Popcorn guns in the air
Animal balloons pop slow
Big ol' shoes on the ground
Coming heel-to-toe
[Chorus]
Killer clowns are after you
Killer clowns are after you
Hide your face, lock the gate
They come grinning through
Killer clowns are after you
Killer clowns are after you
Ring the bell, run for home
'Cause they found your room
[Verse 2]
One rode in on a trike
Past the broken popcorn stand
One had wax for his teeth
And a glove full of sand
They tapped on the trailer door
Like they knew my name
Then the tent lights burst red
And the whole night changed
[Pre-Chorus]
Popcorn guns in the air
Animal balloons pop slow
Big ol' shoes on the ground
Coming heel-to-toe
[Chorus]
Killer clowns are after you
Killer clowns are after you
Hide your face, lock the gate
They come grinning through
Killer clowns are after you
Killer clowns are after you
Ring the bell, run for home
'Cause they found your room
[Bridge]
Hear that honking in the dark?
That's the signal now
Cotton candy on their breath
And a crawling howl
I tried to laugh it off
But my knees went weak
When the mirror showed two rows
Of painted teeth
[Final Chorus]
Killer clowns are after you
Killer clowns are after you
Hide your face, lock the gate
They come grinning through
Killer clowns are after you
Killer clowns are after you
Ring the bell, run for home
'Cause they found your room
