Elliott Smith - King's Crossing Lyrics
The King's Crossing was the main attractionDominoes falling in a chain reactionThe scraping subject ruled by fear told me"Whiskey works better than beer"The judge is on vinyl, decisions are finalAnd nobody gets a reprieveAnd every wave is tidal - if you hang aroundYou're going to get wetI can't prepare for death any more than I already haveAll you can do now is watch the shellsThe game looks easy that's why it sellsFrustrated fireworks inside your headAre going to stand and deliver talk insteadThe method acting that pays my billsKeeps the fat man feeding in beverly hillsI got a heavy metal mouth that hurls obscenityAnd I get my check from the trash treasuryBecause I took my own insides outIt don't matter cos I have no sex lifeAll I want to do now is inject my ex wifeI've seen the movie and I know what happensIt's Christmas timeAnd the needles on the treeA skinny Santa is bringing something to meHis voice is overwhelming, but his speech is slurredAnd I only understand every other word"Open your parachute and grab your gunFalling down like an omen, a setting sunRead the part and we turn out fineIt's a hell of a role if you can keep it alive"But I don't care if I ***** upI'm going on a date with a rich white ladyAin't life great?Give me one good reason not to do it.So do it.This is the place where time reversesDead men talk to all the pretty nursesInstruments shine on a silver trayDon't let me get carried awayDon't let me get carried awayDon't let me be carried away
