Lyrics Elliott Smith

Elliott Smith

Can't Make a Sound

I have become a silent movie

The hero killed the clown

Can't make a sound

Can't make a sound

Can't make a sound

Nobody knows what he's doing

Still hanging around

Can't make a sound

Can't make a sound

Can't make a sound

Can't make a sound

The slow motion moves me

The monologue means nothing to me

Bored in the role, but he can't stop

Standing up to sit back down

Or lose the one thing found

Spinning the world like a toy top

'Til there's a ghost in every town

Can't make a sound

Can't make a sound

Can't make a sound

Can't make a sound

Eyes locked and shining

Can't you tell me what's happening?

Why should you want any other

When you're a world within a world?

Why should you want any other

When you're a world within a world?

Why should you want any other

When you're a world within a world?

Why should you want any other

When you're a world within a world?
