elliott smith - new monkey (alternate lyrics) lyrics

Loading...

here comes the sidewalk boss again
telling me how i can’t cave in
says 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

i go in my car
straight to the bar
where my sweetie pours the beer
’cause she always smiles
when i appear
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”

no half+dеad action man going to move in to take my place
i’ll bе pumping out the product
just to take up sp+ce
look at your hands unoccupied
look at the lengths you’ll go to hide
still 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 could do, don’t you know
anything is better than nothing

no half+dead modern man going to move in to take my place
i’ll be pumping out the product
just a total waste

i’m not about
b+tching you out
over how you spend your time
that’s your affair, not mine
i’ll go on home, to my imagination
the only thing that’s telling me something
better than your little equation
anything is better than nothing
anything is better than nothing
anything is better than nothing
anything is better than nothing
