The Only Thing I Care About Lyrics - Eels

she had the eyes of someone older 

i have the eyes that wander 'round 

i couldn't see what really mattered 

caught hell from my boss 

don't care about my job 

caught a cold from the rain 

don't care if i'm cold 

played every record that i own today 

but the only thing i care about got away

she was a walking work of art 

i am a broken wind-up toy 

i thought i knew what really mattered 

got a flat on the road 

don't care about my car 

lost twenty-six bucks 

don't care about my rent 

caught every episode on tv today 

but the only thing i care about got away 

Photos 

she had a brilliant future 

i have a past 

i have my memories 

but they're fading fast
