Strung Out Again

You get what you see I saw a rich fuck giving charity Saw an evil emperor Wearing my clothes They're far from the best But they might suit you better than the rest Just looking in the mirror Will make you a brave man I know my place Hate my face I know how I begin And how I'll end Strung out again Was a parliament of owls Fly over a city of canals Floating on the body Floating in the Dalles You get what you see But some things they just change invisibly I don't know where I'm going And I don't even want to know They're far from the best But they might suit you better than the rest Just looking in the mirror Will make you a brave man Standing, smiling On some fantasy island Looking at my lost reflection again But a tide's coming in And I'm strung out again Strung out again --- Strung Out Again - Elliott Smith
