I Looked All Over Town
Stephin Merritt
"I wandered in these big blue shoes
Till we had nothing left to lose
Nobody wants you when you're
A circus clown
I should know
I looked all over town
I guess folks just don't like my face
They make out like I'm some disgrace
But nothing's gonna change
This painted frown
And I know
I looked all over town
Maybe somewhere I could be free
Somewhere they won't throw rocks at me
Somewhere this crazy hair
Could be my crown
But all my life
I looked all over town
So, whistling a circus tune
I inflated one more balloon
And as I floated up
I looked straight down
And I looked all over town
One last time
I looked all over town"
