Town Clown

Lyrics

[Verse 1] Is it really only midnight? I swore that it was two And a slow ballerina Turns so sweetly in Rome As I sit here thinking of All the places I have left to go [Chorus] And I'll only ask one small thing from you And I'll only ask this once When you talk about me to your friends Tell them about the girl you met And not the one you know now How she loved you and how she was good to you [Verse 2] I want to die like the girls in the movies A virgin broadcasted for lightyears to come On the screens of a nation who will cry for her And say that they loved her and, though they never knew her Remember things she did Turn it off and it's all over [Outro] I want to be adored by everyone who sees me To fall at my feet for no good reason I can offer you Except that I need it And I'll only ask one thing from you And I'll only ask this once When you talk about me to your friends Tell them about the girl you met And not the thing that I've become How you loved me and how I was good to you How you loved me and how I was good to you I was good to you
