Elliott Smith — Bottle Up and Explode Alternate Version

Record that plays over and over There's a kid in the story below Trying to stay Up and awake His running love of crimson and clover The needle should've worn it away A long time ago Everything around here happens so slow 'Cause no one needs to know I'm looking out my window now And the snow is falling deep around a man asleep He doesn't know he's dying now From the cruelty and the cold Anywhere that the damage doesn't show So no one needs to know Everything around here happens so slow No one needs to know No, no one needs to know [Pictures of Me Reprise (Piano)]
