Elliott Smith - Everything's Okay lyrics

Everything's okay Walks along the dock With some sailor's pay Shoved down in his sock Everything's okay With some little boy in blue Who don't know you like I do Everything's okay Took him back to town Well, I didn't get paid today So I'm in the lost and found And I wonder if that clown Knows just what to do What to say and what not to The pretty words that you whispered Maybe I misunderstood Somebody's not paying attention What they promised and their word isn't good Everything's okay I'm looking for you now Down here by the bay Where the water pounds Up against the wall That I'm coming to Because I can't stay away from you I don't need no satisfaction And I don't take just because I can Sometimes I get a strong impression That you just don't understand That kind of man Everything's okay I can see your face Down there in the waves Painted and erased But I'm told it's just The reflection of the moon A big fake resembling you I'm going to go down in the water And fill my mouth up full of sand And I'll be waiting still impatient With my dead imagination While you're with some other man Everything's okay I'll be with you soon I'm walking out to place My arms around the moon Yeah, I'll be with you soon Just as soon as I pay I'll walk across the water Everything's okay Walk on the water Everything's okay
