I looked all over town

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´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.
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´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.
