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

what does a massive pass 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
how to take a fall
how to take a fall
