I'm the town cryer And everybody knows I'm a little down With a lifetime to go Maybe you don't believe my heart is in the right place Why don't you take a good look at my face? Other boys use the splendor of their trembling lip They're so teddy-bear tender and tragically hip I'm never going to cry again I'm going to be as strong as them They say they'd die for love and then they live it out They'll give you something to cry about And suddenly you really fall to pieces I'm the town cryer And everybody knows I'm a little down With a lifetime to go Maybe you don't believe my heart is in the right place Why don't you take a good look at my face? Other boys use the splendor of their trembling lip They're so teddy-bear tender and, and tragically hip Love and unhappiness go arm-in-arm Long-suffering friends of your fatal charm Living for the pity that you're going to get hurt? Just a little boy lost in a big man's shirt And suddenly you really fall to pieces I'm the town cryer And everybody knows I'm a little down With a lifetime to go Maybe you don't believe my heart is in the right place Why don't you take a good look at my face? Other boys use the splendor of their trembling lip They're so teddy-bear tender and tragically hip
