Hanging Wth The Clowns letra

Strangers are talking
Bullshit is walking tonight
Young lovers are breaking
Pretending there's sweat in their eyes

The tears leave no trace in the lights
'Cause it's warming her face so she looks all right
You keep on escaping, the X is your alibi

Guilty as charged
And you know that you ought to be
So drop the act
And the bullshit and keep it real

Take what you like
Here's a great opportunity
You shoot the sheriff
And then shoot the deputy

Young women are dancing
Showing their moves in the light
She's sticky and chewing
Sweaty, I bet she's all right

The strangest hand has been dealt
By the man on the roof
He was born and held down
By choices that I'll never choose

You're guilty as charged
And you know that you ought to be
So drop the act
And the bullshit and keep it real

Take what you like
Here's a great opportunity
You shoot the sheriff
And then shoot the deputy

Shoot the deputy
Let's shoot the deputy
He's hanging with the clowns

You're guilty as charged
And you know that you ought to be
Soak up the act
And the bullshit and keep it real

Take what you like
Here's a great opportunity
You shoot the sheriff
And then shoot the deputy

No I'll shoot the sheriff
And you do the deputy's wife while you're at it
A great opportunity
I know you well and you want it as bad as me

Guilty as charged
And you know that we ought to be
Yeah we ought to be
Let's shoot the deputy
