Elliott Smith - Untitled (Sticks and Stones) lyrics

The gentleman's in the lane
Spinning his hat on a cane
Stepping out, out for change
Good morning all, it's a beautiful day
The generals are winning a war
Seemed suicidal before you came alone, now
I'll protect you, long as you stay lA
Morning had to come
You'll be walking in the sun
Living in the day but last night I was about
To throw it all away
If patience started a band
I'd be her biggest fan
Look at me, I'm talking to you
I don't want the lead in your play
The star's just a part of the scene
The gentleman in green
Paying off, out on the street
I can't go home, it's not on my way lA
Things are never done
Car's parked in the sun living in the day
But last night I was about
To throw it all away
Last night I was about to throw it all away
Last night I was about to throw it all away
Last night I was about to throw it all away
