Elliott Smith

i'd say you make a perfect
angel in the snow
all crushed out on the way you are
better stop before it goes too far
don't you know that i love you
sometimes i feel like only a cold still life
that fell down here to lay beside you
don't you know that i love you
sometimes i feel like only a cold still life
only a frozen still life
that fell down here to lay beside you

Here come your pride and joy,
The comic little drunk you call your boy,
making everybody smile.
Who takes your pretty plan,
And then becomes a disappearing man,
After a little while.
I saw you with your makeup running down,
Now what's that all about?
You say you don't want anyone around,
'Cause you're all cleaned out.
You toss the empty beer,
Not really as composed as you appear,
An icicle inside.
Wearing clothes that clash,
Wondering, is this treasure, is this trash?
Still trying to decide.
Now about five o'clock here comes your clown,
With the foot he's throwing down.
But all you say is you don't want anyone around,
No, not right now.
There ain't nothing to dream,
You don't wanna think about it.
I'm sorry you seem so stung,
And I'm sorry you think you have to hold your tongue,
When you're so pretty and smart.
I'm seeing you caving in,
Becoming afraid of all these men,
That you've given your heart.
I saw you with your makeup running down,
Now what's that all about?
You say you don't want anyone around,
'Cause youre all cleaned out.
All cleaned out,
All cleaned out.

Think I'm unkind
But people aren't the way you think they are
They can't remember all the time
What it was you wanted

They paint you out in straight silhouette
But don't you get the picture yet
Why you getting all upset
The worst parts almost over

Three's such a crowd
You ought to tell me what you tell yourself
You ever gonna speak it aloud
Do I have to guess like everyone else

With an iron will to walk the walk
And the glass drawn that can't be moved to talk
Black eyes always watch the clock
The worst parts almost over

You let yourself be froze by death
You think I'm mean 'cause I call you out
You don't know what you're about
The worst parts almost over now
The worst parts almost over now
Now now

i'd say you make a perfect
angel in the snow
all crushed out on the way you are
better stop before it goes too far
don't you know that i love you
sometimes i feel like only a cold still life
that fell down here to lay beside you
don't you know that i love you
sometimes i feel like only a cold still life
only a frozen still life
that fell down here to lay beside you

Pick me up in an hour or so
I don't really recommend it, no
They'll probably just put you down
I believe you
I wanna be you
I believe you
I wanna be you
I know you're not through with it yet
It's a big decision
You can't kick when you're down
Got a feeling kind of like a cough
Ain't nothing gonna shake it off
Ain't nothing gonna shake it off
Until you talk out loud
I believe you
I wanna be you
I believe you
I wanna be you
I know you're not through with it yet
It's a big decision
You can't kick when you're down
The chromium car reflects who you are taking you home
I'm under you're spell can't you tell? don't you know?
God, people wonder if you're sick
Spilled out on the city slick
Puffed up like a macho jerk
Don't even try it it'll never work
Why you wonder? what you wonder for me?
Why you wonder? what you wonder for me?
Why you want what I can not be you know I won't stay sober
I believe you
I wanna be you
I believe you
I wanna be you
I know you're not through with it yet
It's a big decision
I know you're not through with it yet
It's a big decision
I know you're not through with it yet
It's a big decision
You can't kick when you're down

You're strong, you're stubborn now
In an endless symbolic war
Brave or bored, either/or
Sometimes I ricochet from the past
And at times a future I've already had before
Champion or chore, either/or.
I'll write the pages you rip out
Back in their places again
One day you'll know what you're talking about
I can hardly imagine, but until then I'll be
Filling in these blanks that you create
Every time you win some petty score
Posing as hardcore, oh yeah, either/or
Look at the spin chief, battered and broken
Clutching a plastic rose
We're all in the downpour you carry around for
Trashing a lifestyle you've never known
It's a useful dream that makes
Quite an entertaining show and not much more
Up against and for, either/or

Dragged down into lowercase
Trying to get your cops to talk right
But they cant put the paper in your face
You're just trying to walk by
So now I got a new game baby
No one's gonna recognize it
Your broken english over their flat, tired remarks
Still trying to bring some dead beauty back to life
Isn't it pretty, yeah
I'm gonna see my city dead
I can do everything that your man does except for better
Got no interest now in undressing your kids with cheap angst love letters
You write your name in all of the places no one goes
Some can't be satisfied until everybody knows
Isn't it pretty, yeah
I'm gonna see my city dead
Isn't it pretty, yeah
I'm gonna see my city dead (come on)
Isn't it pretty, yeah
I'm gonna see my city dead

(papyeverte)You're a first timer, blaming everybody else
For the hard time you give yourself
In the cold riddle where you find yourself not blocked
By a door you locked
But don't get backed into a corner
Talking to yourself
Come on back to me
My pride tomorrow
You feel hollow
And you know it's because you are
Well at least so far
I think of you with hesitation
I think of you too hard
Come on back to me
But don't make me sorry
You're a first timer, blaming everybody else
For the hard time you give yourself
For the hard time you give yourself

Georgia Georgia
It's been many miles
Since I've seen your fallen smile
Close up and personal
Your arsenal of excuses
You never told her
When you walked out on the savannah shoulder
With your veins all full of beer
Thinking well at least now everything is clear
But oh man
What plan
Suicide
It's just not that much different from my own affair
Always cussing and crying
How about if you
Tell me something new
Tell me what will make you happy
Oh you
So deserve to be
There were protests and contests
Attitudes to cop
I want it all to stop
Three weeks ago you were all grace and charm
And now I know it was just a false alarm
Georgia Georgia
I can't understand your sickness
You have no forgiveness
No attention left to pay
The quiet way you leave
And just forget it all
Just takes my breath away
How's that supposed to make me feel
Yeah, well, how am I supposed to feel

Go on parade and fade
Hit the scene in slow
Spending all your time with some girl
You'll never get to know
Wound up tight
Dressed all in white
Some torment saint
Blowing out to drift
Leave you even if

You live up in your head
Scared of every little noise
Someone's always breaking in accidentally
Using nothing but their voice
Shrill and small
Echo down the hall
Repeating pet names
Seeing it in your eyes
You're only passing by
Go by
Someone's in the way
Pretty words and inside slurs
All the things they have to say
To perform the work that they've rehearsed
It's a waste of time
I put it behind me
Once and for all
And let the hype decline
If the problem wasn't mine
Go by

Well you shouldn't doctor yourself,
Well I pictured somebody else.
Someone that looks like,
What I look like.

Would you say that the one of your dreams
Got in you and ripped out the seams?
That's what I'd say,
That's what I'd say.

He was a sucker for your double dose,
Motherfucker turned white as a ghost.
Don't you say "Hi,"
Don't you say "Hi."

With a broken sink for a face,
And a head that just takes up space.
He's not half right,
He's not half right.

It's already half past, and it won't last.

I was sticking up for my friend,
When there's nothing much to defend.
It's a lost fight,
It's a lost fight.

'Cause when i talk to you on the phone
Well, it's just like being alone.
It's not half right,
It's not half right.

Wiped out and the city's lit
Another sick rock and roller
Acting like a dick
Needing cash
Rooting through the trash
That piles up in this place
And fills up behind my empty face
Full of things we are not to do

You come over with all of your friends
And all their opinions I don't want to know
And I'm looking over my shoulder
Booking away with nowhere to go

I run down to the corner lot
It's forty-five past two
I almost forgot to show
I got a date to make with Mr So and So
After which
I won't care when you all start to bitch
And moan about being alone

You come over with all of your friends
And all their opinions I don't want to know
And I'm looking over my shoulder
Booking away with nowhere to go

Why can't you just leave me alone
You've already thrown
All the sticks and stones
You had to send my way
Why can't you just leave it at that
And spare us both the bother
Cuz I just bounce back anway

I got nothing that I want to do
More than make another
Sonic fuck you to play
Whenever you make my life cliche
So to fit in some little box
With all the made up shit you say
To keep confusion away

You come over with all of your friends
And all their opinions I don't want to know
And I'm looking over my shoulder
Booking away with nowhere to go

You come over with all of your friends
And all their opinions I don't want to know
And I'm looking over my shoulder
Booking away

Ghost of your smile is always looking for
New bodies to haunt
And it's been here, it is up here
He's hanging around and he'll float for a while
Gradually gone
It's pleasing and freezing
While I wonder what it is you're after
Keeping company with this disaster
You looked all over town, got turned around
To walk back through the mud
The kind you had left behind you
Everybody's the same in this long knowing game
Where every new blood gets time to become resigned
Now I wonder what it is you're after
Keeping company with this disaster
Why you never try to tame your master
You just blow through the coals
Blow through the coals
Till everyone knows
That your smile is just a ghost
The ghost of your smile was seen on a body in the park
It's old news, you see that it's no use
You're waiting to start, waiting to light
Wait until dark
I told you man
I told you
While I wonder what it is you're after
Keeping company with this disaster
Why you never try to tame your master

Here come the sidewalk boss again
Telling me how I can't cave in
That I'm a study in black
Need a pat on the back
I looked up and smile
A picture of dissatisfaction
That he can only see as a junkie
Though I might be straight as an arrow
He's busy shaking hands with my monkey
Busy shaking hands with my monkey
Well I go in the car
Straight to the bar
Where my sweetie pours the beer
For the millions of fans ignoring the bands
He's in my ear
Wants me to live in denial
Says you've gotta settle for something
Though it might not be really living
Anything is better than nothing
Anything is better than nothing
No actor action man gonna move in to take my place
I'll be pumping out the product
Just a total waste
Look at your hands unoccupied
Look at the lengths you'll go to hide
You're under the veil
Pretending to fail
Gotta whole lot of empty time left to go
Now you've gotta fill it with something
I know what you can do don't you know
Anything is better than nothing
No actor action man gonna move in to take my place
I'll be pumping out the product
Just a total waste
I'm here with my cup
Afraid to look up
This is how I spend my time
Lazin' around, head hangin' down
Stuck inside my imagination
Busy making something from nothing
Pictures of hope and depression
Anything is better than nothing
Anything is better than nothing
Anything is better than nothing
Anything is better than nothing

Looking at all the rows
All these records look like big zeros
Got your picture on the back of a forty-five
A placeholder till you take up mine
A placeholder till you take up mine

I'm the person you'll never need
The biggest loser on sixteenth street
The invisible man with the see-through mind
A placeholder till you take up mine
A placeholder till you take up mine

Break off of in someone's laughter
You can tell right there
He's still a square
He likes the way that you look now
Like an open book

Just like my favourite song
Some pretty words that didn't last that long
Like a package sent priority overnight
Placeholder come and take up mine
Placeholder come and take up mine
Placeholder come and take up mine
Placeholder come and take up mine

It's to reveal that fucked up cop
Amped up on prescription pills
That brought my heart to a stop
And i want to tell you there's a riot coming
Like a drug in the water
A punch in the stomach makes sons into daughters

I met a girl on the square
Who showed me how to kill my cares
But once that's done, man, there's nothing to do
Time's running backwards from me and you
There's a riot coming
Like a drug in the water
A punch in the stomach makes sons into daughters
My body's running but i don't see why it bothers

Sat down in jail with this friend of mine
Who'd never close both his eyes
But one was shut all the time
To cover the thing he was scared of
While he watched with the other
There was a riot coming
Like a drug in the water
A punch in the stomach makes sons into daughters

There's a riot coming
There's a riot coming
There's a riot coming

You got a choke chain
Made out of nightrain
To keep your memory down
In quicksand from the main man
To gel everything out
Always out on a joyride
Lay it out from insides
Always at a dead stall
From sticking pins into miniature men
Who can't feel it at all

See you later
See you later
If I see you at all
See you later

See you later
See you later
If I see you at all
See you later

Walk through thick mud
Looking for new blood
Thinking I heard your name
Cruel imagination is still giving me pain
Just to find you with the
Masterminder
Of one of your little affairs
Saying how he loves you now
Let me show you how much I care

See you later
See you later
If I see you at all

See you later
See you later
If I see you at all

See you later
See you later
If I see you at all
See you later

I took you to the train
Stupid shit you displayed
I took pictures in my head
You an opening stare only
Had a little dressy date
Just didn't care
You were all getting drunk instead
Seen how things are hard
Seen how things are hard
I love you though
Seen how things are hard
Seen how things are hard
Well don't you know
Listening to what you thought was a dizzy height
Freaked out and forgot you stay well away from trouble that you caused
Using all your strength to keep the world at an arm's length
And not get upset because something goes wrong
Seen how things are hard
Seen how things are hard
I love you though
Seen how things are hard
Seen how things are hard
Well don't you know
I'm a crap reflection of you
I cant make corrections for you
You have to help me patch things up
Seen how things are hard
Seen how things are hard
I love you though
Seen how things are hard
Seen how things are hard
Well don't you know
Seen how things are hard
Seen how things are hard
I love you though
Seen how things are hard
Seen how things are hard
Well don't you know
No

Talkin' to Mary, you know you don't have to shout.
She can hear what you're thinkin' like you were sayin' it right out loud.

I'm sure she sees behind that dirty look.
It was her that followed down every stupid turn that you took.

One day she'll go, I told you so.
One day she'll go, I told you so.

Saw the one big problem you keep under your hat,
And it's pretty unlikely that anybody else will be cool with that.

You've got bus fare in your pocket and more money down in your sock.
But she can't tell you how to contact her if you won't listen to her talk.

One day she'll go, I told you so.
One day she'll go, I told you so.

It's no problem, I'll just keep quiet if it's easier for you,
To make believe, then, that I don't love you as much as I do.

One day she'll go, I told you so.
One day she'll go, I told you so.
I told you so, I told you so.

Won't you let me walk you home from school?
Won't you let me meet you at the pool?
Maybe Friday I can
Get tickets for the dance
And I'll take you
Ooh ooh ooh ooh
Won't you tell your dad get off my back?
Tell him what we said 'bout ""paint it black""
Rock and roll is here to stay
Come inside now it's ok
And I'll shake you
Ooh ooh ooh
Won't you tell me what you're thinking of?
Would you be an outlaw for my love?
If it's so then let me know
If it's no then I can go
And I won't make you

Come here alone, and they leave in twos,
Except for you and me, who just came to use.
If you're all done like you said you'd be,
What are you doing hanging out with me?

Why dyou tell me stuff that's so plainly untrue?
If you'll be straight with me, I'll be straighter with you.
If you're all done like you said you'd be,
What are you doing hanging out with me?

I haven't wanted to do anything for a long time,
But whatever you've got right now would probably suit me fine.

If you're all done like you said you'd be,
What are you doing hanging out with me?

I haven't wanted to do anything for a long time,
Whatever you're doing now would probably suit me fine.

If you're all done like you said you'd be,
What are you doing hanging out with me?
What are you doing hanging out with me

There was grown man dying from fright
So surprised by the things he'd say
With a giant fantasy life
Running 'round on feet of clay
Naked except for a perpetual debt
That couldn't be stripped away
An unrightable wrong that moved him
Along closer to division day
Spent a long time living with that
Never could give it a name
And when you don't know what you're
Looking at it makes it much harder to take
Mostly they'd meet when he was
Asleep and have some sick exchange
That stuck him as wrong and moved him
Along closer to division day
I can't make an exception for a bad
Connection that only goes one way
Sell out for a song where I don't belong
With you on division day
The moon stood up on the ridge
Looking down where the water shines
And a man looking over the bridge
Like he done so many times
Thinking about how to stay out
Out of troubles way and
Flying to fall away from you all
It's over division day
Beautiful division day
Thinking about how to stay out
Out of troubles way
Flying to fall away from you all
It's over division day
Beautiful division day

O'm floating in a black balloon
O.D. on easter afternoon
My mama told me baby stay clean
There's no in between
And all you ladies and you gentlemen
Between is all you've ever seen or been
Fit poorly and arrange the sight
Doll it up in virgin white

You disappoint me
You people rakin' in on the world
The devil's script sells
You the heart of a blackbird

Shine on me baby cause it's rainin' in my heart

Sun is rising on a chopping glare
Rain dropping acid blotter in the air
A distorted reality's now a neccessity to be free

So disappointing
So first i put it all down to luck
God knows why my country don't give a fuck

fuck

Shine on me baby cause it's rainin' in my heart
Shine on me baby cause it's rainin' in my heart

Everything is gone but the echo of the burst of a shell
And i'm stuck here waiting for a passing feeling
In the city i built up and blew to hell
I'm stuck here waiting for a passing feeling

Still i sinned all the time
My request for relief
Down the dead power lines
Though i'm beyond belief
In the help i require
Just to exist at all
Took a long time to stand
Took an hour to fall

I'm stuck here waiting for a passing feeling
Stuck here waiting for a passing feeling

(pushy preachy)
last stop for a resolution
end of the line, is it confusion?
so go. go see whats there for you
nothing new, nothing new for you to use
i've got no new act to amuse you
i've got no desire to use you, you know
but anything that i could do, would never be good enough for you
if you can't help it then just leave it alone (leave it alone)
leave it alone, yeah, just forget it
it's really easy
i believe i'll forget it too
still you're keepin' me around
til i finally drag us both down
pulling feathers out your hat
yes i believe that's where it's at
you belong tagging along
and i belong in your zoo
so i wait for confirmation
that you're never gonna use your starting gun
unless its me it sounds like being him just wasn't that much fun
anything that i could do
would never be good enough for you
if you can't help it then just leave it alone (leave it alone)
leave me alone, yeah, just forget it
it's really easy
i'll just forget it too
coast to coast, coast to coast
i'll do what i can so you can be what you do
coast to coast, coast to coast
i'll do everything i can so you can be what you do
coast to coast, coast to coast
circuit rider comes every fifth sunday
oh my lord, i fell asleep one day
anything that i could do
is there anything that i could do
that someone doesn't do for you
that someone didn't do for you
that i have already done for you

I met a girl
Snowball in hell
She's as hard
And as cracked as a liberty bell
And I got her to
Come on move in with me
And I said I'll find a better place
Where we can spend eternity
Don't go down
Don't go down
Stay with me baby stay
Her mother called me a thief
And her dad called himself
Commander and chief
I fall in love with my love
But I knew the kind of worthless
ness we have to raise above
Don't go down
Don't go down
Stay with me baby stay

Don't go down
Don't go down
Stay with me baby stay
She had a dream
Woke up in shock
She had seen
Her own body outlined in chalk
No fingerprints were found on the gun
And her ghost leaned down to kiss me
With a message from the sun
Don't go down
Don't go down
Stay with me baby stay
Don't go down
Stay with me baby stay
Don't go down
Stay with me baby stay

the litebrite's now black and white
cause you took apart a picture that wasn't right
pitch burning on a shining sheet
the only maker that you want to meet
a dying man in a living room
who's shadow paces the floor
who'll take you out in the open door
this is not my life
it's just a fond farewell to a friend
it's not what i'm like
it's just a fond farewell to a friend
who couldn't get things right
fond farewell to a friend
he said really i just wanna dance
good and evil matched perfect it's a great romance
i can deal with some physic pain
if it'll slow down my higher brain
veins full of disappearing ink
vomiting in the kitchen sink
disconnecting from the missing link
this is not my life
it's just a fond farewell to a friend
it's not what i'm like
it's just a fond farewell to a friend
who couldn't get things right
fond farewell to a friend
i see you're leaving me and taking up with the enemy
the cold comfort of the in between
a little less than a human being
a little less than a happy high
a little less than a suicide
the only things that you really tried
this is not my life
it's just a fond farewell to a friend
it's not what i'm like
it's just a fond farewell to a friend
who couldn't get things right
fond farewell to a friend
this is not my life
it's just a fond farewell to a friend

The king's crossing
is the main attraction
Dominoes are falling
in a chain reaction
The scraping subject
ruled by fear told me
Whiskey works better than beer
The judge is on vinyl
decisions are final
And nobody gets a reprieve
And every wave is tidal
if you hang around
You're going to get wet
I can't prepare for death
any more than
i already have
All you can do now is watch
the shells
The game looks easy
that's why it sells
Frustrated fireworks
inside your head
Are going to stand
and deliver talk instead
The method acting that
pays my bills Keeps a fat man
feeding in beverly hills
I got a heavy metal mouth
that hurls obscenity
And i get my check
from the trash treasury
Because i took my own insides out
It don't matter cos
i have no sex life
All i want to do
now is inject my ex wife
I've seen the movie and
i know what happens
It's christmas time
And the needles on the tree
A skinny santa is bringing
something to me
His voice is overwhelming
but his speech is slurred
And i only understand
every other word
Open your parachute
and grab your gun
Falling down like an
omen a setting sun
Read the part and we turn out fine
It's a hell of a role
if you can keep it alive
But i don't care if i fuck up
I'm going on a date
with a rich white lady
Ain't life great
Give me one good reason
not to do it

This is the place
where time reverses
Dead men talk to
all the pretty nurses
Instruments shine on a silver tray
Don't let me get carried away
Don't let me get carried away
Don't let me be carried away

Here's the army
That you mowed to the ground
And the bodies you left lying around
Talking it out
The last hour
I'm through trying now
It's a big relief
I'll be staying down
Where no-one else gonna give me grief
Mess me around
Just make it over

Your opinion was the law of the land
A single thing that i couldn't always understand
I lived it out from hour to hour
The only thing that never really changed
You ran me all around
And dragged me down
At the end of the day
Don't keep me around
Just make it over

I've been thinking of the things that i missed
Situations that i passed up for this
One way love i took for ours
I'm through trying now
It's a big relief
I'll be staying down
I wasn't good at being a theif
More like a clown
Make it over

There are signs
Dividing in
That I couldn't abide
I wouldn't miss it again
Burning every bridge that I cross
To find some beautiful place to get lost
I had true love
But made it die
Pushed out of the way
She said please stay
Burning every bridge that I cross
To find some beautiful place to get lost
To find some beautiful place to get lost
I don't know where I'll go now
And I don't really care who follows me there
But ill burn every bridge that I cross
To find some beautiful place to get lost
To find some beautiful place to get lost

One more little one
I'll go down stay down
Sleep the rest of the day

Dream new music to calm down
Stay down and keep evil away
I can hear you asleep
Changing your shape
Dissolved in some dream

As a new one appears
To take you along where you've never been
One, two, three, four, five, six ?
The moonlight tonight seems to belong to me
Cause i even though some can't sleep
They need some company

One hit wouldn't hurt a bit at all
Slow down sleep
What's ?
If it's good shit you won't know
And i won't know the fact that i'm dying

If i seem to be reckless with myself
It's the fault of no one
All things have a place
Under the moon as well as the sun
One more
Little one i love you

this is the place
you'll end up when
you lose the chase
where you're dragged against your will
from a basement on the hill
and all anybody knows is
you're not like them
and they kick you in the head
and send you back to bed
isolation pulled you pass a tunnel to a
bright world where you can make a place to stay
but everybody's scared of this place
they're staying away
your little house on memory lane
the mayor's name is fear
his voice patrols the pier
from a mountain of cliche
that advances everyday
the doctor spoke a cloud
he rained out loud
you'll keep your doors and windows shut
and swear you'll
never show a soul again
but isolation pushes you ‘til every muscle aches
down the only road it ever takes
but everybody's scared of this place
they're staying away
your little house on memory lane
if it's your decision
to be open about yourself
be careful or else
be careful or else
uncomfortable apart
it's all written on my chart
and i take what's given to me
most cooperatively
i do what people say
and lie in bed all day
absolutely horrified
i hope you're satisfied
isolation pushes past self hatred, guilt and shame
to a place where suffering is just a game
but everybodys scared of this place
they're staying away
your little house on memory lane
your little house on memory lane

Sunshine, been keeping me up for days
There is no night time, it's only a passing phase
And I feel pretty, pretty enough for you
I felt so ugly before, I didn't know what to do

Sometimes is all I feel up to now
But it's not worth it to you
Cos you gotta get out somehow
It's the destruction that you require to feel
Like somebody wants you, someone that's more for real

Sunshine, been keeping me up for days
There is no night time, only a passing phase
And I'll feel pretty, another hour or two

I felt so ugly before, I didn't know what to do
I felt so ugly before, I didn't know what to do
I felt so ugly before, I didn't know what to do
Ugly before

you'll make the scene like you always do
going up stream down the ave. to fuck some
trophy boy that you'll win tonight at the bar
so bad, so far. you'll make him sad, shooting star.
when it was me
i was momentarily proud
drunk on dreams now i'm glad
i didn't say out loud
you said you'd be for real but
i don't believe that you are
so bad, so far. you make me sad, shooting star
you're distant and cold and a sight to behold
everybody just sighs. but no one gets on
with you very long, cos you don't feel bad when you lie
i'm going to sleep now
going back to find square one
square two be where i can deal with the shit you've just done
it won't be soon
say the least it's gonna be hard
so bad, so far. your love is sad, shooting star
your love is sad, shooting star

You get what you see
I saw a rich fuck giving charity
Saw an evil emperor wearing my clothes
Their far from the best
But they might suit you better than the rest
Just looking in the mirror
Will make you a brave man

I know my place
Hate my face
I know how I begin, and how I'll end
Strung out again

Was a parliament of owls
Flying over a city of canals
Floating on the body
Floating in the dalles
You get what you see
Some things they just change invisiabally
I don't know where I'm going
I don't even want to know

I know my place
Hate my face
I know how I begin and how I'll end
Strung out again

Standing, smiling on some fantasy island
Waving at my lost reflection again
But a tide coming in
And I'm strung out again
Strung out again
