Miss Misery

Elliott Smith

I'll fake it through the day
with some help 
from Johnny Walker red 
Send the poisoned rain down the drain 
to put bad thoughts in my head

Two tickets torn in half 
and a lot of nothing to do 
Do you miss me--Miss Misery--
like you say you do?

A man in the park 
read the lines in my hand 
told me I'm strong, hardly ever wrong
I said man you mean 

You had plans for both of us 
that involved a trip out of town 
to a place I've seen in a magazine 
that you left lying around 
I don't have you with me but 
I keep a good attitude 
Do you miss me--Miss Misery-- 
like you say you do? 

I know you'd rather see me gone 
than to see me the way that I am 
but I am in your life, anyway 

Next door TVs flashing blue
frames on the wall 
It's a comedy of errors, you see; 
it's about taking a fall 
to vanish into oblivion 
it's easy to do 
and I try to be 
but you know me I come back when you want me to 
Do you miss me--Miss Misery-- 
like you say you do?
