St. Ides Heaven -
by Elliott Smith
| Everything is exactly right | |
| When I walk around here drunk every night | |
| With an open container from 7-11 | |
| In St. Ides Heaven | |
| 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 | |
| High on amphetamines | |
| The moon is a lightbulb breaking | |
| It'll go around with anyone | |
| But it won't come down for anyone | |
| 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 | |
| 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 | |
| Though they don't have a clue | |
| High on amphetamines | |
| The moon is a lightbulb breaking | |
| It'll go around with anyone | |
| But it won't come down for anyone | |
| And I won't come down for anyone |
