Karaoké Waltz #2 (XO) Elliott Smith

First the mic then a half cigarette singing Kathy's clown

That's the man she's married to now

That's the girl that he takes around town

She appears composed so she is I suppose who can really tell?

She shows no emotion at all stares into space like a dead China doll

I'm never gonna know you now but I'm gonna love you anyhow

Now she's done and they're calling someone such a familiar name

I'm so glad that my memory's remote

'Cos I'm doing just fine hour to hour note to note

Here it is the revenge to the tune

You're no good you're no good you're no good you're no good

Can't you tell that it's well understood?

I'm never gonna know you now but I'm gonna love you anyhow

I'm here today expect it to stay on

And on and on

I'm tired I'm tired

Looking out on the substitute scene still going strong

XO Mom it's ok it's alright nothing's wrong

Tell mister Man with impossible plans to just leave me alone

In the place where I make no mistakes

In the place where I have what it takes

I'm never gonna know you now but I'm gonna love you anyhow

I'm never gonna know you now but I'm gonna love you anyhow

I'm never gonna know you now but I'm gonna love you anyhow
