Elliott Smith - Plainclothes Man Lyrics
You're everybody's second homeAlways trying to get me aloneAn easy way to lose it allAlways there when all else failsOver by the west side railsBut I don't really need that nowI never really did anyhowI only really needed alcoholSomething that'll treat me okayAnd wouldn't say the things you'd sayPlease turn out the lightI get a sick confusion headache trying to figure out who's rightDreaming on the silver strandWaking up to plainclothes manYou little bastard, little boy in blueSomeone's gonna get to youAnd ***** up everything you doHe's so unhappy insideHe's serious with everyoneAnd he thinks he'll win you with his angry kissActing like he has no needsWanting you to watch him bleedMade for each other bet you pay me any mindJust goes to show my continual declineThey say that I'll recover my love of her once in a whileBut I don't knowI don't think so...There's something that I'll tell you nowNow that no one else is aroundThe sort of lesson that I learned from youNot quite the way you plannedBut I know you'll understandSomeone takes a photographA picture while their sweetheart laughsA perfect moment in a flash of lightCounting back from 3 to 1That's exactly what you've doneAnd I'm so unsurprisedI remember, I remember why I dream in black & whiteGoes to show my continual declineThey say that I'll recover my love of her once in a whileBut I don't knowI don't think soI don't think so...
