Lyrics Elliott Smith

Elliott Smith

A Distorted Reality Is Now a Necessity to Be Free

I'm floating in a black balloon

O.D. on Easter afternoon

My mama told me, "Baby stay clean,

there's no in between."

But all you ladies and you gentlemen

Between's all you've ever seen or been

Fit poorly and arrange the sight

Doll it up in virgin white

You disappoint me

You people raking in on the world

The Devil's scrip sells

You the heart of a blackbird

Shine on me baby

'Cause it's raining in my heart

Sun's rising on a choppy glare

Rain dropping acid bought up in the air

A distorted reality is now a necessity

To be free

It's so disappointing

At first I put it all down to luck

God knows why my

Country don't give a fuck, fuck

Shine on me baby

'Cause it's raining in my heart

Shine on me baby

'Cause it's raining in my heart
