Elliott Smith

the sweet hot(?) of the passing hour
my make up s starting to crack
people talk behind my back
and i don t like that

see the man of the moment
trying to get himself in my shot
telling everyone he s not
confidence artist

there s so many people
there s so many people
there s so many people
you gotta settle the score

look a little bit closer now
see if the side you can take
the suspense has to got break
and it will someday

still life in a darkened room
will be flooded with light
and it might make you uptight
but you won t die from exposure

there s so many people
there s so many people
there s so many people
you gotta settle the score

there s so many people
too many people
no no no

i m just enchanted now
some other time

if you re seeing something
that you re not supposed to see
you ll be charged a penalty
and you ll pay forever

i been working night and day
building sets on a lot
in a land that time forgot
captured here in my camera

there s so many people
there s so many people
there s so many people
you gotta settle the score

there s so many people
too many people
no no no

i m too enchanted now
some other time
