Elliott Smith King`s Crossing Lyrics

King`s Crossing Lyrics

the king's crossing is the main attraction

dominoes are falling in a chain reaction

the scraping subject ruled by fear told me

whiskey works better than beer

the judge is on vinyl, decisions are final

and nobody gets a reprieve

and every wave is tidal - if you hang around

you're going to get wet

i can't prepare for death any more than i already have

all you can do now is watch the shells

the game looks easy that's why it sells

frustrated fireworks inside your head

are going to stand and deliver talk instead

the method acting that pays my bills

keeps a fat man feeding in beverly hills

i got a heavy metal mouth that hurls obscenity

and i get my check from the trash treasury

because i took my own insides out

it don't matter cos i have no sex life

all i want to do now is inject my ex wife

i've seen the movie and i know what happens

it's christmas time

and the needles on the tree

a skinny santa is bringing something to me

his voice is overwhelming, but his speech is slurred

and i only understand every other word

open your parachute and grab your gun

falling down like an omen, a setting sun

read the part and we turn out fine

it's a hell of a role if you can keep it alive

but i don't care if i fuck up

i'm going on a date with a rich white lady

ain't life great?

give me one good reason not to do it

(because i love you)

so do it

this is the place where time reverses

dead men talk to all the pretty nurses

instruments shine on a silver tray

don't let me get carried away

don't let me get carried away

don't let me be carried away
