Elliott Smith
The Corner Seat
He said maybe I'll just follow you over
But thinking twice, he was quick to recover
'Cause sitting there would make him just want to curse
'Cause all the stories sound over-rehearsed
But he followed over to the corner seat
And listened to the endless repeats
These people don't know who you are
But they've seen you play and they'd probably say
You think you're some kind of star
And they've got their powers of conversation
And they need someone to dominate
Who now?
They're going to shut me out
They're going to shut me out
Oh man you know you're so in love with yourself
Now he's drifting 'round the beautiful circle
It's a hip trip, man, you can never get out of
But you're the one who brought me down here in the first place
Oh man, I'd rather be in outer space
Than follow over to the corner seat
Who now?
They're going to shut me out
They're going to shut me out
Oh man, you know there's just nobody else
When you're so in love with yourself
