bled white

Singer:elliott smith

i'm a color reporter

but the city's been bled white

and the doctor orders

drinks all night to take away this curse

but it makes me feel much worse

bled white

so i wait for the f-train

and connect through a friend of mine

to a yesterdaydream

'cos i'd have to be high to track the sunset down

and paint this paling town

bled white

so here it comes with a blank expression

'specially for me

'cos he knows i feel the same

'cos happy and sad come in quick succession

i'm never going to become what you became

don't you dare disturb me

while i'm balancing my past

'cos you can't help or hurt me

like it already has

i may not seem quite right

but i'm not fucked

not quite

bled white

bled white
