Elliot Smith Speed Trials Lyrics

Speed Trials Lyrics

he's pleased to meet you underneath the horse

in the cathedral with the
glass stained black

singing sweet high notes that echo back

to
destroy their master



may be a long time til you get the call-up

but it's sure as fate and hard as your luck

no one'll know where you
are



it's just a brief smile crossing your face

running speed
trials still standing in place



when the socket's not a shock
enough

you little child what makes you think you're tough

when all
the people you think you're above

they all know what's the matter



you're such a pinball, yeah, you know it's true

there's always
something you come back running to

to follow the path of no resistance



it's just a brief smile crossing your face

running speed trials
standing in place



it's just a brief smile crossing your face

running speed trials all over the place
