A Living Will

Elliott Smith · Other Songs - Elliott Smith

Time to kill, wrote a living will

And gave it to the man in the moon

But I'm gonna get well soon



This happy face is watching me die

Elevate me to another world

All that I can do in my own



Is leave well enough alone

Leave well enough alone

Leave well enough alone



A circumstance dropped by

Uninvited and demand to be fed

But I've already gone to bed

There's nothing you can see from inside



My spirit arose

And put on my clothes

And helped me disconnecting the phone



To leave well enough alone

Leave well enough alone

Leave well enough alone



Time was I was a wire then a mole in a cake

First it's all the reaction, now it's all the rage



Waking up by the stations' stop

And reality's invading my brain

The cops gonna search the train

They'll take away whatever they find



But I don't have the thoughts you want

Just a memory of love I was shown

A vision that turns to stone



Leave well enough alone

Leave well enough alone
