Elliott Smith Tom`s Start Lyrics

Tom`s Start Lyrics

activity is killing the actor
and a cop`s standing out in the road turning traffic away
there`s nothing she could do until after
when his body`d been buried below
way back in the day
oh my nothing else could have been done
made his life a lie 
so he might never have to know anyone
made his life a lie, you know
I told him he shouldn`t have sent her
he`d only be making it worse
bothering somebody else
but I he that he`d never forget her
while her memory worked in reverse
to keep her safe from herself
oh my nothing else could have been done
she made her life a lie
so she might never have to know anyone
made her life a lie, you know
what I used to be will pass away and then you`ll see
and all I want now is happiness for you and me
what I used to be will pass away and then you`ll see
and all I want now is happiness for you and me. . . .
