Clowns caress you
   Figures undress your fears
   Induce the crowd beyond emotion
   Shedding tears as big as the ocean
   Don't say you didn't hear us calling
   Ooh ooh you'll be sorry in the morning
   When we tell you mother had tears in her eyes
   She's the only one that never cries
  
   That's the way we destroy baby
   Shut it out, shut it out
   That's the way we destroy baby
   Shut it out of your mind
   That's the way, that's the way
  
   If I address you
   And you see me in the shadows falling
   Call, caress me
   Hey I woke up on my own this morning
   Don't say you didn't hear us calling
   Ooh ooh you'll be sorry in the morning
   When we tell you mother had tears in her eyes
   She's the only one that never lies
  
   That's the way we destroy baby
   Shut it out, shut it out
   That's the way we destroy baby
   Shut it out of your mind
   That's the way, that's the way
  
   I'm only trying to help you baby
   (Only trying to help you)
   I'm only trying to help you baby
   (Only trying to help you)
   I'm only trying to help you
