ELLIOTT SMITH
"Miss Misery (Early Version)"

I'll fake it through the day with some help from Johnny Walker Red
And the cold pain behind my eyes that shoots back through my head
With two tickets torn in half in a lot with nothing to do
But its alright 'cause some enchanted night I'll be with you

Tarot cards and the lines in my hand
Tell me I'm wrong but they're untrue

I got plans for both of us that involve a trip out of town
To a place I've seen in a magazine that you left lying around
I can't hold my liquor but I keep a good attitude
'Cause its alright, some enchanted night I'll be with you

And though you'd rather see me gone then to see that come the day
I'll be waiting for you anyway

Next on the TV's flashing blue frames on the wall
It's a comedy from the '70s with a lead no one recalls
He vanished into oblivion, it's easy to do
And I cried a sea when you talked to me the day you said we were through
But it's alright, some enchanted night I'll be with you
