Elliott Smith - Seigfried lyrics

The markings on your surface Your speckled face Flawed crystals hang from your ears I couldn't gauge your fears I can't relate to my pierce I'd rather live outside I'd rather chip my pride than lose my mind out here Maybe I'm a fool Maybe I should move And settle, two kids and a swimming pool I'm not brave (brave) I'm not brave I'm living over city And taking in the homeless sometimes Been living in an idea An idea from another man's mind Maybe I'm a fool To settle for a place with some nice views Maybe I should move Settle down, two kids and a swimming pool I'm not brave I'd rather live outside I'd rather live outside I'd rather go to jail I've tried hell (It's a loop) What would you recommend I do?

High flights, inhale the vapor, exhale once and think twice Eat some shrooms, maybe have a good cry about you See some colors, light hang glide off the moon (In the dark, in the dark) I'd do anything for you (In the dark) I'd do anything for you (In the dark) I'd do anything for you (In the dark) I'd do anything for you (In the dark) I'd do anything for you, anything for you (In the dark) I'd do anything for you, anything for
