Elliott Smith - Strung Out Again lyrics

You get what you see

I saw a rich fuck giving charity

saw an evil emporer

wearing my clothes

far from the best

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 began

and how I won't end

strung out again

was a parliament of owls

flying over a city of canals

floating on the body

floating in the dark

forget what you see

some things they just change invisibly

dont' know where I'm going

I don't even want to know

I know my place

hate my face

I know how I began and how I won't end

strung out again

standing, smiling

from fantasy island

moving with my lost

reflection of me

the tide's coming in

and I'm strung out again

strung out again
