Elliott Smith - 10.14.99 1

The Kings Crossing was the main attraction
dominoes falling in a chain reaction
the scraping subject, ruled by fear
told me whiskey works better than beer

The judge is on vinyl
desicions are final
and nobody gets a reprieve
and every wave is tidal, if you hang around
you're going to get wet

I cant prepare for death anymore than I already have
All you can do now is watch the shelves
the game looks easy, thats why it sells

Frustrated fireworks inside your head
are gonna stand and deliver
talk instead
the method acting that pays my bills
keeps the fat man feeding in beverly hills
I've 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 doesnt matter cause I have no sex life
and all I want to do now is inject my ex wife
Ive seen the movie and I know what happens
Its christmas time and the needles on the tree
a skinny santa is bringing something to me
His voice is overwhelming
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 where we turn out fine
its a hell of a role
If you can keep it alive
and I dont care if I fuck up
Im going on a date with a rich white lady
Aint life great?
Give me one good reason not to do it
Cause I'll do it

So this is the place where time reverses
and 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...
