Elliott Smith — New Disaster

The ghost of your smile is always looking For new bodies to haunt And its been here and disappeared It's hanging around aloofly for a while Gradually gone It's pleasing and freezing Well, I wonder what it is you're after Keeping company with this disaster You looked all over town Got turned around To walk back through the mud The kind you had left behind you Everybody is the same in this long no-win game Where every new blood Gets time to become resigned Now I wonder what it is you're after Keeping company with this disaster Why you never tried to tame your master You just blow through the coals Blow through the coals Blow through the coals Until everyone knows that your smile is just a ghost The ghost of your smile was seen on a body in the park It's old news You see that it's no use Waiting to start Waiting to light Waiting until dark I told you, man I told you Well, I wonder what it is you're after Keeping company with this disaster Why you never tried to tame your master
