A fond farewell
par Elliott Smith

The Litebrite´s now black and white
´Cos you took apart a picture that wasn´t right
Pitch burning on a shining sheet
The only maker that you want to meet
A dying man in a living room
Whose shadow paces the floor
Who´ll take you out in the open door
This is not my life
It´s just a fond farewell to a friend
It´s not what I´m like
It´s just a fond farewell to a friend
Who couldn´t get things right
A fond farewell to a friend
He said really I just want to dance
Good and evil match perfect, it´s a great romance
And I can deal with some psychic pain
If it´ll slow down my higher brain
Veins full of disappearing ink
Vomiting in your kitchen sink
Disconnecting from the missing link
This is not my life
It´s just a fond farewell to a friend
It´s not what I´m like
I´ts just a fond farewell to a friend
Who couldn´t get things right
A fond farewell to a friend
I see you´re leaving me
And taking up with the enemy
The cold comfort of the in-between
A little less than a human being
A little less than a happy high
A little less than a suicide
The only things that you really tried
This is not my life
It´s just a fond farewell to a friend
It´s not what I´m like
It´s just a fond farewell to a friend
Who couldn´t get things right
A fond farewell to a friend
This is not my life
It´s just a fond farewell to a friend
´Cos you took apart a picture that wasn´t right
Pitch burning on a shining sheet
The only maker that you want to meet
A dying man in a living room
Whose shadow paces the floor
Who´ll take you out in the open door
This is not my life
It´s just a fond farewell to a friend
It´s not what I´m like
It´s just a fond farewell to a friend
Who couldn´t get things right
A fond farewell to a friend
He said really I just want to dance
Good and evil match perfect, it´s a great romance
And I can deal with some psychic pain
If it´ll slow down my higher brain
Veins full of disappearing ink
Vomiting in your kitchen sink
Disconnecting from the missing link
This is not my life
It´s just a fond farewell to a friend
It´s not what I´m like
I´ts just a fond farewell to a friend
Who couldn´t get things right
A fond farewell to a friend
I see you´re leaving me
And taking up with the enemy
The cold comfort of the in-between
A little less than a human being
A little less than a happy high
A little less than a suicide
The only things that you really tried
This is not my life
It´s just a fond farewell to a friend
It´s not what I´m like
It´s just a fond farewell to a friend
Who couldn´t get things right
A fond farewell to a friend
This is not my life
It´s just a fond farewell to a friend
