Kings Crossing Lyrics by Elliott Smith

Kings Crossing Lyrics

    The big problem is the main attraction
    Dominoes are falling in a chain reaction
    The scraping subject ruled by fear told me
    Whiskey works better than beer
    The judge is on vinyl, decisions are final
    And nobody gets a reprieve
    And every wave is tidal - if you hang around
    You're going to get wet
    I can't prepare for death any more than I already have
    All you can do now is watch the shells
    The game looks easy that's why it sells
    Frustrated fireworks inside your head
    Are going to stand and deliver talk instead
    The method acting that pays my bills
    Keeps the fat man feeding in beverly hills
    I got a heavy metal mouth that hurls obscenity
    And I get my check from the trash treasury
    Cos I took my own insides out
    It don't matter cos I had no sex life
    All I want to do now is inject my ex wife
    I've seen the movie and I know what happens
    It's a Christmas time
    And the needles on the tree
    A skinny Santa is bringing something to me
    His voice is overwhelming, but his speech is slurred
    And I only understand every other word
    "Open your parachute and grab your gun
    Falling down like an omen, a setting sun
    Read the part and we turn out fine
    It's a hell of a role if you can keep it alive
    But I don't care if I fuck up
    I'm going on a date with a rich white lady
    Ain't life great?
    Give me one good reason not to do it
    This is a place where time reverses
    Dead men talk to all the pretty nurses
    Instruments shine on a silver tray
    Don't let me be carried away
    Don't let me be carried away
    Don't let me be carried away
