The Magnetic Fields - I Looked All Over Town Lyrics

The Magnetic Fields Lyrics

"I Looked All Over Town"

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

I Die

I Don't Believe You

I Don't Really Love You Anymore

I Looked All Over Town

I Thought You Were My Boyfriend

I Was Born

I Wish I Had An Evil Twin

If There's Such A Thing As Love

I'm Tongue-Tied

In An Operetta

Infinitely Late At Night

Irma

Is This What They Used To Call Love

It's Only Time
