Elliott Smith - Confusion lyrics

Funny you swear you got nowhere special to go But I know you will, before too long Cos you're always there, standing there Staring at the hole in the robe Like it was a place somebody would go Confusion is king, the talk of your town With the hollywood design, knowing everyone Would you cover mine? You spoke softer than anybody i ever heard Softer than the velvet in your hair, tying back Black while you laugh at me, black as a bird I live in a cage, and i could take you there Confusion is king, the talk of your town Streets, i'm living with the pain This is what you see always looking down Hanging out, better off? Can't tell how to behave With her on the stage i hear your song With the animals painted in the dark on the walls of the cage Pictures of the ones i guess you won't forget Confusion is king, the talk of my town I don't know if you hear the meaning of the word Maybe just yourself? Little things trigger big problems You can wipe out a stain and Maybe i destroy what makes you sad If you're rid of so many minds Buried that you never relay until Your body's numb and it's all too bad Confusion is king, the talk of the town I don't know how to speak it I don't know how to help you I'll just be around I don't know how to speak I don't know how to help I'll just be around
