fond farewell

elliott smith in from a basement on a hill albumunden bir sarki.

the litebrite's now black and white
cause they took apart a picture that wasn't right
pitch burning on a shining sheet
the only maker that you'd want to meet
a dying man in a living room
whose shadow paces the floor
he’ll take you out any 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

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
