Xiu Xiu: "Clowne Towne" Lyrics

Up and down through what you thought would be your future

Became the dark reminder of

What a rash and inconsistent faith you had

In loving your true self and your true love

Clowne towne no shelter

Clowne towne no anything

Clowne towne single angel

Clowne towne no exit

Your true father smashed his hands through the glass

And failed out of the priviledged life of his dream

Your true love has drunk herself into not being able to pay her rent

Or keeping her own word to her own self

Your true brother has betrayed you over and over

And looked you in the eye

Your true self has become weak and alone and annoying

And a true ridiculous dumb-ass

Clowne towne revealing nothing

Clowne towne a flock of coots

Clowne towne a single beauty

Clowne towne a big dumb kid
