punch and judy (other version) - elliott smith lyrics

Loading...

[verse 1 ]
a wallpaper pulls his punch, talks to judy in a crowded corner
he don’t read page to page, or say the words in order
judy’s ill-strating and she’s a stranger to the straight face
always seems so far away staring out into sp-ce

[verse 2]
“i’m sorry, tried to stay away” says punch, “later account, though”
you dress like an opposite but really it’s more than echo
judy leans over like a strike of a clock, says “i don’t buy that, boy”
there’s two inside of you and they’re both gonna be destroyed

[chorus]
in the alley, mixing blood cheek to cheek
you’re up against the words you never could dare to speak
it’s your conflict sh0r-d up tight
your heavy steps to follow her steps so light

[verse 3]
so judy holds punch, cufflinks inside her clenched fists
she had a dream of bandages on punch’s wrists
so she sees punch with a th-rn in his hand and says “stop right there
what the f-ck are you doing don’t you know i care?”

[verse 4]
but she hears the bark of a cop and drops to the dirty street
“i wonder” punch says, “do you know what at all, what’s protecting me?”
judy used to hold me like a pencil writing out some change
her cheap philosopher was spare change for brains

[chorus]
in the alley, mixing blood cheek to cheek
you’re up against the words you never could dare to speak
it’s your conflict sh0r-d up tight
your heavy steps to follow her steps so light
