New Monkey Lyrics - New Moon - Elliott Smith

Here comes the sidewalk boss again 

Telling me how I can't cave in 

That I'm a study in black 

Need a pat on the back 

I look up and smile 

A picture of dissatisfaction 

That he can only see as a junkie 

Though I might be straight as an arrow 

He's busy shaking hands with my monkey 

Busy shaking hands with my monkey 

Well, I go in the car 

Straight to the bar 

Where my sweetie pours the beer 

For the millions of fans ignoring the bands 

He's in my ear 

Wants me to live in denial 

Says, "You've got to settle for something 

Though it might not be really living 

Anything is better than nothing 

Anything is better than nothing"

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

No actor action man going to move in to take my place 

I'll be pumping out the product 

Just a total waste 

Look at your hands unoccupied 

Look at the lengths you'll go to hide 

You're under the veil 

Pretending to fail 

Got a whole lot of empty time left to go 

Now you've got to fill it with something 

I know what you can do, don't you know 

Anything is better than nothing 

No actor action man going to move in to take my place 

I'll be pumping out the product 

Just a total waste 

Photos 

I'm here with my cup 

Afraid to look up 

This is how I spend my time 

Lazying around, head hanging down 

Stuck inside my imagination 

Busy making something from nothing 

Pictures of hope and depression 

Anything is better than nothing 

Anything is better than nothing 

Anything is better than nothing 

Anything is better than nothing
