King's Crossing Lyrics - From A Basement On The Hill - Elliott Smith

The King's crossing was the main attraction 

Dominoes falling in a chain reaction 

The scraping subject ruled by fear told me 

Whiskey works better than beer 

The judge is on vinyl, decisions are final 

And nobody gets a reprieve 

And every wave is tidal 

If you hang around you're going to get wet 

I can't prepare for death any more than I already have 

All you can do now is watch the shells 

The game looks easy that's why it sells 

Frustrated fireworks inside your head 

Are going to stand and deliver talk instead 

The method acting that pays my bills 

Keeps the fat man feeding in Beverly Hills

NEW SONG: Blink-182 - 'Happy Days' Lyrics 

I got a heavy metal mouth that hurls obscenity 

And I get my check from the trash treasury 

Because I took my own insides out 

It don't matter 'cause I have no sex life 

And all I wanna do now is inject my ex-wife 

I've seen the movie 

And I know what happens 

It's Christmas time 

And the needles on the tree 

A skinny Santa is bringing something to me 

His voice is overwhelming 

But his speech is slurred 

And I only understand every other word 

Open your parachute and grab your gun 

Falling down like an omen, a setting sun 

Read the part and return at five 

It's a hell of a role if you can keep it alive 

Photos 

But I don't care if I fuck up 

I'm going on a date 

With a rich white lady 

Ain't life great? 

Give me one good reason not to do it 

(Because we love you) 

So do it 

This is the place where time reverses 

Dead men talk to all the pretty nurses 

Instruments shine on a silver tray 

Don't let me get carried away 

Don't let me get carried away 

Don't let me be carried away
