I Looked All Over Town Lyrics - The Magnetic Fields

I wandered in these big blue shoes 

Till we had nothin' 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 nothin's gonna change this painted frown 

I know, 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've looked all over town 

So whistling this 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
