 ELLIOTT SMITH - Bled White Lyrics

I'm a color reporter
[Rose City on the 409]
But the city's been bled white
[White city on the yellow line]
And the doctor orders
[Drinking to distraction's just a waste of time]
Drinks all night to take away this curse
But it makes me feel much worse

Bled white

So I wait for the F-Train
[White city on the yellow line]
And connect through a friend of mine
[White city to a friend of mine]
To a yesterdaydream
[Yesterday a dream was just a waste of time]
'Cos I'd have to be high to track the sunset down
And paint this paling town

Bled white

So here it comes with a blank expression
'Specially for me, 'cos he knows I feel the same
'Cos happy and sad come in quick succession
I'm never going to become what you became

Don't you dare disturb me
[Don't complicate my peace of mind]
While I'm balancing my past
[Don't complicate my peace of mind]
'Cos you can't help or hurt me
[The anger, being mean was just a waste of time]
Like it already has, I may not seem quite right
But I'm not ####ed, not quite

Bled white
