ELLIOTT SMITH lyrics : "Division Day"

There was grown man dying from fright
So surprised by the things he'd say
With a giant fantasy life

Running 'round on feet of clay

Naked except for a perpetual debt

That couldn't be stripped away
An unrightable wrong that moved him
Along closer to division day


Spent a long time living with that
Never could give it a name

And when you don't know what you're
Looking at it makes it much harder to take


Mostly they'd meet when he was
Asleep and have some sick exchange
That stuck him as wrong and moved him

Along closer to division day

I can't make an exception for a bad

Connection that only goes one way
Sell out for a song where I don't belong
With you on division day


The moon stood up on the ridge
Looking down where the water shines

And a man looking over the bridge
Like he done so many times


Thinking about how to stay out
Out of troubles way and
Flying to fall away from you all

It's over division day
Beautiful division day


Thinking about how to stay out
Out of troubles way
Flying to fall away from you all

It's over division day
Beautiful division day
