Stephin Merritt - All You Ever Do Is Walk Away lyrics

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 the scene with me But 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
