Lyrics Elliott Smith

Elliott Smith

L.A.

The gentle little Elaine,

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

One of a kind

You'll be walking in the sun

Living in the day

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 gentle man 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

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
