ELLIOTT SMITH lyrics : "Go By"

Go on parade and fade
Hit the scene in slow
Spending all your time with some girl

You'll never get to know
Wound up tight
Dressed all in white

Some torment saint
Blowing out to drift
Leave you even if


You live up in your head
Scared of every little noise

Someone's always breaking in accidentally
Using nothing but their voice
Shrill and small

Echo down the hall
Repeating pet names
Seeing it in your eyes

You're only passing by
Go by
Someone's in the way

Pretty words and inside slurs
All the things they have to say
To perform the work that they've rehearsed

It's a waste of time
I put it behind me
Once and for all

And let the hype decline
If the problem wasn't mine
Go by
