Elliott Smith - Fond Farewell lyrics

The Litebrite's now black and white

'Cos you 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

[Chorus]

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 match perfect it's a great romance

I can deal with some psychic pain

If it'll slow down my higher brain

Veins full of disappearing ink

Vomiting in the kitchen sink

Disconnecting from the missing link

[Chorus]

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

Ch

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
