Elliott Smith St Ides Heaven Lyrics

St Ides Heaven Lyrics

everything is exactly right
when i walk around here drunk every night
with an open container from 7-11
in st. ides heaven
i`ve been out haunting the neighborhood
and everybody can see i`m no good
when i`m walking out between parked cars
with my head full of stars
high on amphetamines
the moon is a lightbulb breaking
it`ll go around with anyone
but it won`t come down for anyone
you think you know what brings me down
that i want those things you could never allow
you see me smiling you think it`s a frown
turned upside down
cos everyone is a f**king pro
and they all got answers from trouble they`ve known
and they all got to say what you should and shouldn`t do
though they don`t have a clue
high on amphetamines
the moon is a lightbulb breaking
it`ll go around with anyone
but it won`t come down for anyone
and i won`t come down for anyone
