Pictures of Me Songtext
von Elliott Smith

Start, stop and start, stupid acting smart
Flirting with the flicks, you say it′s just for kicks
You'll be the victim of your own dirty tricks
You′ve got yourself to tease and displease
Doors swinging wide, you walked in to hide
Looking at your feet, failure's complete
Saw you and me on the coin-op TV
Frozen in fear every time we appear

I'm not surprised at all and, really, why should I be?
See nothing wrong, see nothing wrong
So sick and tired of all these pictures of me
Completely wrong, totally wrong


Go walking by, come another guy
Jailer who sells, personal hells
Who′d like to see me down on my fucking knees?
Everybody′s dying just to get the disease

Hey, hey, hey, hey

I'm not surprised at all and, really, why should I be?
See nothing wrong, see nothing wrong
So sick and tired of all these pictures of me
Completely wrong, totally wrong
I′m not surprised at all and, really, why should I be?
See nothing wrong, see nothing wrong
So sick and tired of all these pictures of me

Everybody's dying just to get the disease
Everybody′s dying just to get the disease
Everybody's dying just to get the disease
