A Distorted Reality Is Now A Necessity To Be Free

Elliott Smith · From A Basement On The Hill [2004]

i'm floating in a black balloon

o.d. on easter afternoon

my mama told me baby stay clean

there's no in between

and all you ladies and you gentlemen

between is all you've ever seen or been

fit poorly and arrange the sight

doll it up in virgin white



you disappoint me

you people rakin' in on the world

the devil's script sells

you the heart of a blackbird



shine on me baby cause it's rainin' in my heart



sun is rising on a chopping glare

rain dropping acid blotter in the air

a distorted reality's now a neccessity to be free



so disappointing

so first i put it all down to luck

god knows why my country don't give a fuck



fuck



shine on me baby cause it's rainin' in my heart

shine on me baby cause it's rainin' in my heart
