Elliott Smith - A Distorted Reality Is Now A Necessity To Be Free Lyrics

I'm floating in a black balloon

O.D. on Easter afternooon

My mama told me, "baby stay clean

there's no in between."

But all you ladies and you gentlemen

between's all you've ever seen or been

Fit poorly and arrange the sight

Doll it up in virgin white



You disappoint me

you people raking in on the world

The Devil's script sells

you the heart of a blackbird



Shine on me baby

'cos it's raining in my heart



Sun's rising on a choppy glare

Rain dropping acid bought up in the air

A distorted reality is now a necessity

to be free



It's so disappointing

first I'll put it all down to luck

God knows why my

country don't give a f*ck (f*ck)



Shine on me baby

'cos it's raining in my heart

Shine on me baby

'cos it's raining in my heart
