[Verse 1: Elliott Smith]
I have become a silent movie
The hero k**ed the clown
[Chorus] (x3)
Can't make a sound
[Verse 2]
Nobody knows what he's doing
Still hanging around
[Chorus] (x4)
[Bridge 1]
The slow motion moves me
The monologue means nothing to me
[Verse 4]
Bored in the role, but he can't stop
Standing up to sit back down
Or lose the one thing found
[Verse 5]
Spinning the world like a toy top
'Til there's a ghost in every town
[Chorus] (x4)
[Bridge 2]
Eyes locked and shining
Can't you tell me what's happening?
[Outro] (x4)
Why should you want any other
When you're a world within a world?
