Why Won't Everybody Just Leave Me Alone?
A lonely clown discovers that solitude is harder to find than he imagined.
Lyrics
Verse 1
The clock on the wall had a face that was smiling
I had time on my hands, but the seconds were dying
I paced four rooms' worth of floor
Then I heard them outside the door
Verse 2
They left me for dead for no rhyme and no reason
But the heart that I wore on my sleeve was still beatin'
When the vampyres start to dance
You only get one last chance
Chorus
Why won't everybody just leave me alone?
I was born with an ache in my heart and a hole in my soul
I don't need nobody around
To care for the tears of this clown
So why won't everybody just leave me alone?
Verse 3
She came in through a dream and then left by a nightmare
She started talking to me, but I knew she was not there
[Rough New york female spoken voice] "Hey buddy!, If you wanna go out in style"
"Lets take a walk down the suicide mile"
Chorus
Why won't everybody just leave me alone?
I was born with an ache in my heart and a hole in my soul
I don't need nobody around
To care for the tears of this clown
So why won't everybody just leave me alone?
Instrumental
Verse 4
I'm finally somewhere that no one can reach me
I 'm all by myself and at last I can feel free
If you see my body around
Just take it to the lost and found
Chorus
Why won't everybody just leave me alone?
I was born with an ache in my heart and a hole in my soul
I don't need nobody around
To care for the tears of this clown
So why won't everybody just leave me alone?
Outro
Why won't everybody just leave me alone?
I was born with an ache in my heart and a hole in my soul
I don't need nobody around
To care for the tears of this clown
So why won't everybody just leave me a
