How To Take A Fall - Elliott Smith

It’s one word cover to cover

It’s an endless fuse

Chain repeater never seems to get any smarter

I’m always marking pages so

That I don’t get confused

End up in a fight I never had any part of

Listen naive plaything

Coming over clueless every time you call

An accident just waiting to happen

Still hasn’t found out

How to take a fall

Make me a present, make it something sweet

Small enough to go unnoticed and big enough to compete

With this massive past that keeps blocking up my street

Looking for a new contender to disassemble

Listen naive plaything

Coming over clueless every time you call

An accident just waiting to happen

Still hasn’t found out

How to take a fall
