My mama told me 'baby stay clean there's no in between.' but all you ladies and you gentlemen, between is all you've ever seen or been. - Elliott Smith

Next door, the TV's flashing
blue frames on the wall.
It's a comedy from the seventies
with a lead no one recalls.
He vanished into oblivion
it's easy to do
and I cried a sea when you talked to me
the day you said we were through.
But it's all right, some enchanted night
I'll be with you

The scraping subjects, ruled by fear, they told me
whiskey works better than beer.

I'd say you make the
perfect angel in the snow
all crushed out on the way
you are, I'd better stop before
it goes too far.
