Town Clown Lyrics

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

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

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

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
