Elliott Smith
Dead Air - Demo
I've been suffocating all night
Too much of nothing made me get uptight
And I get this from shot nerves
You say it's this that you deserve
Do you wanna live in a soft shell?
A knuckle under the hard sell
When you’re honest you’re a pretty bitter pill
But when you sing you’re with a twenty dollar bill

Dead air
Don't let it be spoken
A record's broken, skipping until it wears away
Here in this dead air
And you never say nothing
Dead air between you and me

I've been suffocating all night
Too much of nothing made mе get uptight
You're in a rut with your hard-on
It takes no guts to bе a Don Juan
To go around brooding and tight
When you got no reason for brooding
You've become a complete insect
You don't give a shit you just wanna forget

Dead air
Don't let it be spoken
A record's broken, skipping until it wears away
Here in this dead air
And you never say nothing
Dead air between you and me
I've been brooding all night
I got no reason for brooding
I don't know what I'm doing
I keep trying to speak out loud

Dead air
Dead air between you and me
Dead air
Dead air between you and me
Dead air between you and me
Dead air between you and me
