"Dirty Night Clowns" as written by and Chris Garneau....
Pick me up and hose me down
I'm sorry boys about the dirty night clowns
The Earth does bright, the things that we make
Like a model planes and gooey cakes
I can't clear the leaves from here
They're too far under the brush this year
I can't clear the leaves from here
They're too far under the brush this year
Let them be buried, buried alive
In their suits, in their ties
Trees to shade the moves that they made
In their suits, in their ties
Let them be buried, buried alive
In their suits, in their ties
You're safe here, now you're in the clear
Now we'll eat soup and apple pies
I can't clear the leaves from here
They're too far under the brush this year
I can't clear the leaves from here
They're too far under the brush this year
I will never be dirt-free
Hold me, hold me
Like a baby
(La da da da da da da dumb
Da da da da dum)
X2
I can't clear the leaves from here
They're too far under the brush this year
I'm sorry boys about the dirty night clowns
The Earth does bright, the things that we make
Like a model planes and gooey cakes
I can't clear the leaves from here
They're too far under the brush this year
I can't clear the leaves from here
They're too far under the brush this year
Let them be buried, buried alive
In their suits, in their ties
Trees to shade the moves that they made
In their suits, in their ties
Let them be buried, buried alive
In their suits, in their ties
You're safe here, now you're in the clear
Now we'll eat soup and apple pies
I can't clear the leaves from here
They're too far under the brush this year
I can't clear the leaves from here
They're too far under the brush this year
I will never be dirt-free
Hold me, hold me
Like a baby
(La da da da da da da dumb
Da da da da dum)
X2
I can't clear the leaves from here
They're too far under the brush this year

Pick me up, hose me down
I'm sorry boys about the dirty night clowns
Earth does break the things that we make
Like a model planes and cuppy cakes
(Try and clean my act, and figure out what I am covered with,
Sorry guys about the weird entertainment (eccentric personality)
The world tries to break who we are or what we do
Whether we are gifted one way, or gifted another)
I can't clear the leaves from here
They're too far under the brush this year
I can't clear the leaves from here
They're too far under the brush this year
(I can’t change so you will understand me
my traits grow with me as a whole more each year)
Let them be buried, buried alive
In their suits, in their ties
Trees to shade the moves that they made
In their suits, in their ties
Let them be buried, buried alive
In their suits, in their ties
You're safe here, now you're in the clear
Now we'll eat soup and apple pies
(Conformist means nothing to me
They shouldn’t exist
they change beauty and truth to manipulation
Business people and the lesser spirited
Should not exist
When they are gone, let’s do what eccentrics love to do
Eat and enjoy the little things in life
I will never be dirt-free
Up the stairs come find me,
Come sneak up behind me
I'll be sleeping soundly
Like a baby
(I will always be a free eccentric spirit, and because of it–I am always chased. I am happy because of my innocence, and conniving people will try and sneak to affect that. )
the song is referring to the men and how they should be "buried alive" for the "moves they make"
the line "i will never be dirt-free" refers to the victims of the attacks and how its a scarring experience.
the verse about "up the stairs come find me" is particularly disturbing.
the only part i dont understand is the chorus about the leaves.
"Let them be buried, buried alive
In their suits, in their ties
Trees did shake the moves that they make
In their suits, in their ties" is simply incredible!
Not only that, but the changes in sounds, music, melodys, rhythms, etc. throughout the song is unparralled!
Simply Amazing!
Clean me of my bad deeds
I'm sorry about the 'Dirty Night Clowns'
Earth does corrupt us all
Chorus :
I can't clear the evidence
I'm in too deep
I can't clear the evidence
I'm in too deep
Let those shameful "clowns" be buried alive for their deeds
( In their suits, in their ties )
They're shady and sneaky about it
( In their suits, in their ties )
No one will catch them here, they're in the clear
Now they can relax and be happy
I will never be innocent, or clear of the "dirt" of my actions
Come find me, you can sneak up behind me but you won't catch me in the act because by the time you get "upstairs", the evidence will be gone. ( I'll be sleeping soundly, like a baby ).
This is how I interpreted the song
The earth does brake the things we make
Trees do shade the moves they make
Pick me up, hose me down
I'm sorry, boys, about the dirty night clowns
Earth does break the things that we make
Like model planes and cuppy cakes
(Literally getting up and cleaning off the evidence of the assault.
Singer issues a direct apology to the victims.
Earth, or humanity, tends to destroy innocence.)
I can't clear the leaves from here
They're too far under the brush this year
x2
(The victim is unable to move past or forget the assault.
Those memories are too deeply buried in his mind (keeping in mind, childhood sexual assault often results in repressed memories).)
Let them be buried, buried alive
In their suits, in their ties
Trees to shade the moves that they made
In their suits, in their ties
Let them be buried, buried alive
In their suits, in their ties
You're safe here, now you're in the clear
Now we'll eat soup and apple pies
(Let the victims suffer or "be buried alive" through the memories of their abuse.
Suits and ties references the victims feeling forced to grow up too fast after losing their innocence.
Trying to forget/ repress memories of the assault (if "leaves" are memories of the assault and "brush" is the victim's subconscious, then "trees" are false memories or excuses planted to cover up the leaves).
The victims are told that they're safe and will never be abused again.
Trying to move past the assault and pretend to resume a normal childhood.)
I can't clear the leaves from here
They're too far under the brush this year
x2
I will never be dirt-free
(The victim will never escape the memories or feel clean again.)
Up the stairs come find me
Come sneak up behind me
I'll be sleeping soundly
Like a baby
(Describing the actual assault.
Emphasis on the innocence and helplessness of the victims.)
I can't clear the leaves from here
They're too far under the brush this year
