Party Clown Lyrics

[Verse 1]
I met the Devil down in Austin
He gave me a Fuji apple
I took a bite and went out of my head
I was a girl in a black Corvette
Getting head in the shadows
I was a beetle floating in a bottle of red

[Chorus]
I was a party clown
Party clown

[Verse 2]
I took a weightless bath
'Til my own laugh gave me the creeps
I watched a scorpion crawl across my feet
It’s been a while, but we communicate psychically
Now you're at my door, trick or treat

[Chorus]
I'm a party clown
Party clown
I’m a party clown
Party clown

[Bridge]
And why can't you be my puzzle piece, baby
And now that you've cracked me open wide, to see
That I was living my life in stencil
But the rainbow was inside of me

[Chorus]
Party clown
Party clown
I'm a party clown
Party clown

[Post-Chorus]
Can you be my puzzle piece, baby?
When I cry like Meryl Streep?
And when I crack my head wide open
I wanna be next to you

[Chorus]
I'm a party clown
Party clown
I'm a party clown
Party clown
Party clown

Keep it true to the song

Fix what’s wrong, but don’t rewrite what the artist wrote. Stick to the official released version — album booklet, label site, verified lyric video, etc. If you’re guessing, pause and double-check.

Respect the structure

Songs have rhythm. Pages do too. Leave line breaks where they belong. Don’t smash things together or add extra empty space just for looks.

Punctuation counts (but vibe-editing doesn’t)

Correct typos? Yes. Re-punctuating a whole verse because it ‘looks better’? Probably not. Keep capitalization and punctuation close to the official source.

Don’t mix versions

If you’re editing the explicit version, keep it explicit. If it’s the clean version, keep it clean. No mashups.

Let the lyrics be lyrics

This isn’t the place for interpretations, memories, stories, or trivia — that’s what comments are for. Keep metadata, translations, and bracketed stage directions out unless they’re officially part of the song.

Edit lightly

If two lines are wrong… fix the two lines. No need to bulldoze the whole page. Think ‘surgical,’ not ‘remix.’

When in doubt, ask the crowd

Not sure what they’re singing in that fuzzy bridge? Drop a question in the comments and let the music nerds swarm. Someone always knows.
