All You Ever Do Is Walk Away Lyrics - Singles - The Magnetic Fields

Sad as a painted clown, a beautiful boy in an ugly town 

But when your circus closes down, don't walk away from me 

You've been asleep too long, the birds are bruises in the dawn 

The pounds of flesh between us stretch as far as you can see 

But all you ever do is walk away and I know if you'd only go slow 

You could see what it means to be making a scene with me 

All you ever do is walk away and I think if you tried 

You could find a little time for the life I can see in your eyes 

Don't go, don't go 

Sometimes you just explode and no one alive can break your code 

You have a language of your own, an unconnected road 

The people you called your friends, the places you won't go again 

The decades lost in finding them, you'll have to let them go 

But all you ever do is walk away and I know if you'd only go slow 

You could see what it means to be making a scene with me 

All you ever do is walk away and I think if you tried 

You could find a little time for the life I can see in your eyes 

Don't go, don't go
