A Distorted Reality Is Now A Necessity To Be Free - Elliott Smith

I’m floating in a black balloon

O.D.

on Easter afternoon

My mama told me «Baby stay clean

There’s no in-between»

And all you ladies and you gentlemen

Between is all you’ve ever seen or been

Fit poorly and arrange the sight

Doll it up in virgin white

You disappoint me, you people raking in on the world

The devil’s script sells you the heart of a blackbird

Shine on me baby, 'cause it’s raining in my heart

Sun’s rising on a chopping glare

Rain dropping acid bought up in the air

A distorted reality’s now a necessity to be free

It’s so disappointing

First I put it all down to luck

God knows why my country don’t give a fuck

Fuck

Shine on me baby, 'cause it’s raining in my heart

Shine on me baby, 'cause it’s raining in my heart
