Waltz, No. 2 (XO) lyrics
by Elliott Smith
First the mic, then a half-cigarette
Singing "Cathy's Clown"
That's the man she's married to now
That's the girl that he takes around town
She appears composed, so she is, I suppose
Who can really tell?
She shows no emotion at all
Stares into space like a dead china doll
I'm never gonna know you now
But I'm gonna love you anyhow
Now she's done and they're calling someone
Such a familiar name
I'm so glad that my memory's remote
Cause I'm doing just fine hour to hour, note to note
Here it is, the revenge to the tune:
You're no good
You're no good, you're no good, you're no good
Can't you tell that it's well-understood?
I'm never gonna know you now
But I'm gonna love you anyhow
I'm here today and expected to stay
On and on and on
I'm tired
I'm tired
