Elliott Smith - No Name #1 lyrics
[Elliott Smith - No Name #1 lyrics]
At a party he was waiting
Looking kind of spooky and withdrawn
Like he could be underwater
The mighty mother with her hundred arms
Swept all aside i hate to walk behind
Other people's ambitions i saw you waiting
Saint-like, with your warning
Leave alone you don't belong here
Got nervous, started whistling
Every thought a ricochet
Did you notice? Well, I wondered
What's the worst thing I could say?
Froze up inside "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
Because you know you don't belong
You don't belong here
When I go, don't you follow
Leave alone leave alone
Because 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Looking kind of spooky and withdrawn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 mighty mother with her hundred arms
Swept all aside i hate to walk behind
Other people's ambitions i saw you waiting
Saint-like, with your warning
Leave alone you don't belong here
Got nervous, started whistling
Every thought a ricochet
Did you notice? Well, I wondered
What's the worst thing I could say?
Froze up inside "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
Because you know you don't belong
You don't belong here
When I go, don't you follow
Leave alone leave alone
Because you know you don't belong
You don't belong here
Slip out quiet nobody's looking
Leave alone you don't belong here
