The Biggest Lie - Elliott Smith

I’m waiting for the train

Subway that only goes one way

The stupid thing that’ll come to pull us apart

And make everybody late

You spent everything you had

Wanted everything to stop that bad

Now I’m a crashed credit card registered to Smith —

Not the name that you called me with

You turned white like a saint

I’m tired of dancing on a pot of gold-flaked paint

Oh we’re so very precious, you and I

And everything that you do makes me want to die

Oh I just told the biggest lie

I just told the biggest lie

The biggest lie
