I Looked All Over Town
Stephin Merritt
I wandered in these big blue shoes
'Til 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
