Elliott Smith - Misery Let me Down lyrics
[Elliott Smith - Misery Let me Down lyrics]
The keeper falls asleep in the hole
I've become what he won't allow
'Cause happy never hurt me at all
But misery let me down
The man who flew above isn't home
I'll go out painting the town
I promise not to have a ball
But misery let me down
If you see misery
Going through the things in my place
Won't you do me a favor
And come invade my space?
I've been pretending to care
Crying in the tears of a clown
I promise not to put on airs
But misery let me down
I’m a shell, in a cell
Looking myself in the face
I've become what he won't allow
'Cause happy never hurt me at all
But misery let me down
The man who flew above isn't home
I'll go out painting the town
I promise not to have a ball
But misery let me down
If you see misery
Going through the things in my place
Won't you do me a favor
And come invade my space?
I've been pretending to care
Crying in the tears of a clown
I promise not to put on airs
But misery let me down
I’m a shell, in a cell
Looking myself in the face
