Singer:elliott smith

at a party

he was waiting

looking kind of spooky and withdrawn

like he could be underwater

the mighty mother with her hundred arms

swept all aside

i hate to walk behind other people's ambition

i saw you waiting

saint-like

with your warning

leave alone

you don't belong here

he got nervous

started whistling

ever thought a ricochet

did you notice?

well i wondered

what's the worst thing i could say?

froze up and sighed

you remind me of someone's daughter

i forgot her

i forgot her name

ashamed

go home

and live with your pain

leave alone

leave alone

cos you know you don't belong

you don't belong here

and when i go

don't you follow

leave alone

leave alone

cos you know you don't belong

you don't belong here

slip out quiet

nobody's looking

leave alone

you don't belong here
