Elliott Smith - Stupidity Tries lyrics

Got a foot in the door God knows what for And he'll cut me down to size Stupidity tries Everything here is free Everything but you and me This painting never dries Stupidity tries So then a shoulder raised a cheer Coloring the sky with ash Because they found some privateer To sail across the sea of trash The enemy is within Don't confuse me with him The truth is otherwise Stupidity tries And so I go from floor to floor Looking for a port of call Another drunk conquistador Conquering the governor's ball Couldn't think of a thing That I hope tomorrow brings Oh what a surprise Stupidity tries
