MORE ELLIOTT SMITH:


  easy way out

you'll take advantage til you think you're being used
cos without an enemy your anger gets confused
i got stuck on the side you know i never chose
but it's all about taking the easy way out for you i suppose

there's no escape for you except in someone else
although you've already disappeared within yourself
the invisible man who's always changing clothes
it's all about taking the easy way out for you i suppose

while i watch you making mistakes
i wish you luck, i really do
with the problem, with the puzzle
whatever's left of you

i heard you found another audience to bore
a creative thinker who imagined you were more
a new body for you to push around and pose
it's all about taking the easy way out for you i suppose
it's all about taking the easy way out for you i suppose



i better be quiet now

wish you gave me your number
wish i could call you today
just to hear a voice
i got a long way to go
i'm getting further away

if i didn't know the difference
living alone'd probably be ok
it wouldn't be lonely
i got a long way to go
i'm getting further away

a lot of hours to occupy, it was easy
when i didn't know you yet
things i'd have to forget

but i better be quiet now
i'm tired of wasting my breath
carrying on and getting upset

maybe i have a problem,
but that's not what i wanted to say
i'd prefer to say nothing.
i got a long way to go
i'm getting further away.

had a dream as an army man with an order
just to march in my place
while a dead enemy
screams in my face

but i better be quiet now,
i'm tired of wasting my breath
carrying on, not over it yet.

wish i knew what you're doing
and why you want to do it this way.
so i can't go the distance
i got a long way to go
i'm getting further away
i got a long way to go
i'm getting further away


things that really piss me off <this is a poor place to rant, i know>

when people come to see this shite and they don't even fucking read it
what's the fucking point
i mean, what are you looking for?
insight?
a laugh?
you're not here looking for elliott smith lyrics
i can see that
you don't browse through all these pages to find this stuff specifically
so what's the point if you don't read it
and take it in
and think to yourself,
"it's not here in case someone's been looking for them
they have meaning
and
purpose
but
what is the meaning and purpose then?"

i mean, think about it, please
go back to the top and try again

*sigh*

did it help?
