Speed Trials Lyrics - Elliot Smith

He's pleased to meet you underneath the horse 

In the cathedral with the glass stained black 

Singing sweet high notes that echo back 

To destroy their master 

May be a long time 'til you get the call-up 

But it's sure as fate and hard as your luck 

No one will know where you are 

It's just a brief smile crossing your face 

I'm running speed trials standing in place 

When the socket's not a shock enough 

You little child what makes you think you're tough? 

When all the people you think you're above 

They all know what's the matter 

You're such a pinball yeah you know it's true 

There's always something you come back running to 

To follow the path of no resistance 

It's just a brief smile crossing your face 

I'm running speed trials standing in place 

It's just a brief smile crossing your face 

I'm running speed trials all over the place
