SINGER: Elliot Smith

SONG:Miss Misery

I'll fake it through the day
with some help from johnny walker red
send the poison rain down the drain
to put bad thoughts in my head
two tickets torn in half
and a lot of nothin' to do
do you miss me, miss misery
like you say you do
A man in the park
read the lines in my hand
told me i'm strong
hardly ever wrong i said
"man you mean--"
You had plans for both of us
that involved a trip out of town
to a place i've seen in a magazine
that you'd left lyin' around
I don't have you with me
but i keep a good attitude
do you miss me, miss misery
like you say you do
I know you'd rather see me gone
than to see me the way that i am
but i am in your life any way
Next door the t.v.'s flashing
blue frames on the wall
it's a comedy of errors you see
it's about taking a fall
To vanish into oblivion
it's easy to do
and i tried to leave but you know me
i come back when you want me to.
Do you miss me, miss misery
like you say you do
