Elliott Smith

Shooting Star

You'll make the scene like you always do
Goin' upstream down the avenue
To fuck some trophy boy that you won tonight at the bar.
So bad, so far.
You'll make him sad, shooting star.

When it was me, I was momentarily proud
Drunk on dreams, now I'm glad I didn't say out loud
You said you'd be for real but I don't believe that you are
So bad, so far.
You make me sad, shooting star.

You're distant and cold, and a sight to behold
Everybody just sighs.
But no one gets on with you very long,
'Cause you don't feel bad when you lie

I'm going to sleep now
Going back to find square one
Square two, be where I can deal with the shit you've just done
It won't be soon, to say the least it's gonna be hard
So bad, so far.
Your love is sad, shooting star.
Your love is sad, shooting star.
