St. Ides Heaven lyrics

[Verse 1: Elliott Smith and Rebecca Gates]
Everything is exactly right
When I walk around here drunk every night
With an open container from 7-Eleven
In St. Ides heaven

[Verse 2: Elliott Smith and Rebecca Gates]
I've been out haunting the neighborhood
And everybody can see I'm no good
When I'm walking out between parked cars
With my head full of stars

[Chorus: Elliott Smith and Rebecca Gates]
High on amphetamines
The moon is a light bulb breaking
It'll go around with anyone
But it won't come down for anyone

[Verse 3: Elliott Smith and Rebecca Gates]
You think you know what brings me down
That I want those things you could never allow
You see me smiling, you think it's a frown
Turned upside down

[Verse 4: Elliott Smith and Rebecca Gates]
'Cause everyone is a f*cking pro
And they all got answers from trouble they've known
And they all got to say what you should and shouldn't do
Though they don't have a clue
[Chorus: Elliott Smith and Rebecca Gates]
High on amphetamines
The moon is a light bulb breaking
It'll go around with anyone
But it won't come down for anyone

[Outro: Elliott Smith and Rebecca Gates]
And I won't come down for anyone
