Elliott Smith - King`s Crossing

The king's crossing
is the main attraction
Dominoes are falling
in a chain reaction
The scraping subject
ruled by fear told me
Whiskey works better than beer
The judge is on vinyl
decisions are final
And nobody gets a reprieve
And every wave is tidal
if you hang around
You're going to get wet
I can't prepare for death
any more than
i already have
All you can do now is watch
the shells
The game looks easy
that's why it sells
Frustrated fireworks
inside your head
Are going to stand
and deliver talk instead
The method acting that
pays my bills Keeps a fat man
feeding in beverly hills
I got a heavy metal mouth
that hurls obscenity
And i get my check
from the trash treasury
Because i took my own insides out
It don't matter cos
i have no sex life
All i want to do
now is inject my ex wife
I've seen the movie and
i know what happens
It's christmas time
And the needles on the tree
A skinny santa is bringing
something to me
His voice is overwhelming
but his speech is slurred
And i only understand
every other word
Open your parachute
and grab your gun
Falling down like an
omen a setting sun
Read the part and we turn out fine
It's a hell of a role
if you can keep it alive
But i don't care if i fuck up
I'm going on a date
with a rich white lady
Ain't life great
Give me one good reason
not to do it

This is the place
where time reverses
Dead men talk to
all the pretty nurses
Instruments shine on a silver tray
Don't let me get carried away
Don't let me get carried away
Don't let me be carried away
