Elliott Smith - Waltz #2




First the mic then a half cigarette
Singing cathy's clown
That's the man that she's married to now
That's the girl that he takes around town


She appears composed, so she is, i suppose
Who can really tell?
She shows no emotion at all
Stares into space like a dead china doll


I'm never gonna know you now,
but i'm gonna love you anyhow


Now she's done and they're calling someone
Such a familiar name
I'm so glad that my memories remote
'cos i'm doing just fine hour to hour,
note to note


Here it is the revenge to the tune
"you're no good,
You're no good you're no good you're no good"
Can't you tell that it's well understood


I'm never gonna know you now,
but i'm gonna love you anyhow


I'm here today and expected to stay on
and on and on
I'm tired
I'm tired


Looking out on the substitute scene
Still going strong
Xo, mom
It's ok, it's alright, nothing's wrong


Tell mr. man with impossible plans to
just leave me alone
In the place where i make no mistakes
In the place where i have what it takes


I'm never gonna know you now,
but i'm gonna love you anyhow.


I'm never gonna know you now,
but i'm gonna love you anyhow.


I'm never gonna know you now,
but i'm gonna love you anyhow.
