Elliott Smith - Cecilia/Amanda lyrics

Black and blue from pa**ing around, Whitey says, "Lady ain't a hit no more" Cecilia Amanda, I don't want to see you get like you got before" Another patient in a party dress yesterday, dancing on a permanent scratch In a place where lonely men pay to make their opposites match Little Miss Amanda wants to know how long you're going to be gone And she asked me can I fix it so your record plays the rest of her song Because every remembrance of you has been buried below Every memory that I unhappily know I'm sorry for you and your kid The things you promised that you never did She asked me, "Are you a pretty dancer?" But I don't think I'm going to answer Oh, black and blue from pa**ing around while you fake me back to the daily score If you got a little baby now, I don't want to see you around here no more Ah, Amanda put on her new party dress yesterday, dancing to a record you scratched I'm some dealing amateur actor making opposites match
