Elliott Smith - For No One lyrics
[Elliott Smith - For No One lyrics]
At a party he was waiting
Looking kind of spooky and withdrawn
Like he could be underwater
The might mother with her hundred arms
Swept all aside i hate to walk behind
Other people's ambitions i saw you waiting
Saint like with you warning
Leave alone you don't belong here
He got nervous started whistling
Every thought a ricochet did you notice?
Well, I wondered
What's the worst thing I could say?
And I froze up and sighed
You remind me of someone's daughter
I forgot her i forgot her name, ashamed
Go home and live with your pain leave alone
Leave alone 'cause you know you don't belong
You don't belong here slip out quiet
Nobody's looking leave alone
You don't belong here
Looking kind of spooky and withdrawn
Like he could be underwater
The might mother with her hundred arms
Swept all aside i hate to walk behind
Other people's ambitions i saw you waiting
Saint like with you warning
Leave alone you don't belong here
He got nervous started whistling
Every thought a ricochet did you notice?
Well, I wondered
What's the worst thing I could say?
And I froze up and sighed
You remind me of someone's daughter
I forgot her i forgot her name, ashamed
Go home and live with your pain leave alone
Leave alone 'cause you know you don't belong
You don't belong here slip out quiet
Nobody's looking leave alone
You don't belong here
