Elliott Smith
St. Ides Heaven
[Verse 1]
Everything is exactly right
When I walk around here drunk every night
With an open container from 7-11
In St. Ides heaven
[Verse 2]
I've been out haunting the neighborhood
And everybody can see I'm no good
When I'm walking out between parked cars
With my head full of stars
[Chorus]
High on amphetamines
The moon is a light bulb breaking
It'll go around with anyone
But it won't come down for anyone
[Verse 3]
You think you know what brings me down
That I want those things you could never allow
You see me smiling, you think it's a frown
Turned upside down
[Verse 4]
'Cause everyone is a fucking pro
And they all got answers from trouble they've known
And they all got to say what you should and shouldn't do
But they don't have a clue
[Chorus]
High on amphetamines
The moon is a light bulb breaking
It'll go around with anyone
But it won't come down for anyone
[Outro]
And I won't come down for anyone
