Elliott Smith All Cleaned Out Lyrics

All Cleaned Out Lyrics

Here come your pride and joy

The comic little drunk you call your boy

Making everybody smile

Who takes your pretty plan

And then becomes a disappearing man

After a little while



I saw you with your make-up running down

Now what's that all about?

You say you don't want anyone around

'Cause you're all cleaned out



You toss the empty beer

Not really as composed as you appear

An icicle inside

Wearing clothes that clash

Wondering is this treasure, is this trash

Still trying to decide



And about 5 o'clock here comes your clown

With the foot he's throwing down

But all you say is you don't want anyone around

Come not right now, there ain't nothing to dream

You don't want to think about it



I'm sorry you seem so stumped

And I'm sorry you think you have to hold your tongue

When you're so pretty and smart

I'm seeing you caving in

Becoming afraid of all these men

That you've given your heart



I saw you with your make-up running down

Now what's that all about?

You say you don't want anyone around

'Cause you're cleaned out

All cleaned out, all cleaned out
