Elliott Smith How to Take a Fall song lyrics

it's one word cover-to-cover

it's an endless fuse

chain-repeater never seems to get any smarter

i'm always marking pages so

that i don't get confused

end up in a fight i never had any part of

listen na've plaything

coming over, clueless

every time you call

an accident just waiting to happen

still hasn't found out

how to take a fall

make me a present

make it something sweet

small enough to go unnoticed and big enough to compete

what does a massive pass that keeps

blocking up my street

looking for a new contender to disassemble

listen na've plaything

coming over, clueless

every time you call

an accident just waiting to happen

still hasn't found out

how to take a fall

how to take a fall

how to take a fall
