Lyrics of Locked Away by The Hotknives
I used to watch the circus come to town,
And queue up for the show.
I used to fool around and play the clown,
A long, long time ago.
Another suitcase with another story,
Another letter in the hallway for me.
Another chance of never being there,
And then I met a girl with a curious stare
So I told you, and you told her,
How much I′d like to hold her.
And now I'm five years older
I wish I′d never told you,
I'd like to hold you,
But you keep me locked away,
Locked away.
I never thought of her as being like
A consolation prize,
It took some history and lots of mistakes
To open up my eyes.
And now a different girl is cutting up 'Mars bars′
A season ticket is replacing fast cars.
The curtain′s up but the lights are down,
The curious stare has re-emerged as a frown.
So I told you, and you told her,
How much I'd like to hold her.
And now I′m five years older
I wish I'd never told you,
I′d like to hold you,
But you keep me locked away,
Locked away.
A complication in the twilight zone,
The juggler fell down.
The staring girl is living on her own,
The other girl is happy living with her clown.
So I told you, and you told her,
How much I'd like to hold her.
And now I′m five years older,
I wish I'd never told you,
I'd like to hold you,
But you keep me locked away,
Locked away.
