thank you for this reconstruction, this is my favorite song by elliott. rest in peace elliott smith, the world is a little more gloomy without your presence
The keeper falls asleep in the hole I've become what he won't allow 'Cause happy never hurt me at all But misery let me down The man who flew above isn't home I go out painting the town I promise not to have a ball But misery let me down If you see misery Going through the things in my place Won't you do me a favor and come invade my space? I've been pretending to care Crying in the tears of a clown I promise not to put on airs But misery let me down I’m a shell, in a cell Looking myself in the face Won't you do me a favor and come invade my space? I've been pretending to care Crying in the tears of a clown I promise not to put on airs But misery let me down Happy never hurt me at all But misery let me down
