Division Day Lyrics

Elliott Smith

There was grown man dying from fright So surprised by the things he’d say With a giant fantasy life Running ’round on feet of clay
Naked except for a perpetual debt That couldn’t be stripped away An unrightable wrong that moved him Along closer to division day
Spent a long time living with that Never could give it a name And when you don’t know what you’re Looking at it makes it much harder to take
Mostly they’d meet when he was asleep And have some sick exchange That stuck him as wrong and moved him Along closer to division day
I can’t make an exception for A bad connection that only goes one way Sell out for a song where I don’t belong With you on division day
The moon stood up on the ridge Looking down where the water shines And a man looking over the bridge Like he done so many times
Thinking about how to stay out Out of troubles way And flying to fall away from you all It’s over division day, beautiful division day
Thinking about how to stay out Out of troubles way Flying to fall away from you all It’s over division day, beautiful division day
