St. Ides Heaven

[Verse 1: Elliott Smith and Rebecca Gates]

Everything is exactly right

When I walk around here drunk every night

With an open container from 7-Eleven

In St. Ides heaven

[Verse 2: Elliott Smith and Rebecca Gates]

I've been out haunting the neighborhood

And everybody can see I'm no good

When I'm walking out between parked cars

With my head full of stars

[Chorus: Elliott Smith and Rebecca Gates]

High on amphetamines

The moon is a light bulb breaking

It'll go around with anyone

But it won't come down for anyone

[Verse 3: Elliott Smith and Rebecca Gates]

You think you know what brings me down

That I want those things you could never allow

You see me smiling, you think it's a frown

Turned upside down

[Verse 4: Elliott Smith and Rebecca Gates]

'Cause everyone is a fucking pro

And they all got answers from trouble they've known

And they all got to say what you should and shouldn't do

Though they don't have a clue

[Chorus: Elliott Smith and Rebecca Gates]

High on amphetamines

The moon is a light bulb breaking

It'll go around with anyone

But it won't come down for anyone

[Outro: Elliott Smith and Rebecca Gates]

And I won't come down for anyone
