Elliott Smith Punch and Judy song lyrics

A wallflower punch talks to Judy

In a crowded corner where anybody can listen in

But they don't read page to page or speak easy

Now they're gonna go say the words

In the wrong order again

They walk in a circle

Through all the sidewalk scenes they used to be apart of one time

Now everybody just stares and whispers

Driving around up and down Division Street

I used to like it here

It just bums me out to remember

Can't you ever treat anyone nice

I think I'm gonna make the same mistake twice

They draw the curtain, wait for a call

Pretty lucky if they get any kind of response at all

Can't you ever treat anyone nice

I think I'm gonna make the same mistake twice

I'm gonna make the same mistake twice
