The Only Thing I Care About - Eels

She had the eyes of someone older

I have the eyes that wander 'round

I couldn’t see what really mattered

Caught hell from my boss

Don’t care about my job

Caught a cold from the rain

Don’t care if I’m cold

Played every record that I own today

But the only thing I care about got away

She was a walking work of art

I am a broken wind-up toy

I thought I knew what really mattered

Got a flat on the road

Don’t care about my car

Lost 26 bucks

Don’t care about my rent

Caught every episode on TV today

But the only thing I care about got away

She had a brilliant future

I have a past

I have my memories

But they’re fading fast

Caught hell from my boss

Don’t care about my job

Caught a cold from the rain

Don’t care if I’m cold

Played every record that I own today

But the only thing I care about got away

The only thing I care about got away
