Elliot Smith – Miss Misery lyrics

I'll fake it through the day
with some help
from Johnny Walker red
Send the poisoned rain down the drain
to put bad thoughts in my head

Two tickets torn in half
and a lot of nothing to do
Do you miss me--Miss Misery--
like you say you do?

A man in the park
read the lines in my hand
told me I'm strong, hardly ever wrong
I said man you mean

You had plans for both of us
that involved a trip out of town
to a place I've seen in a magazine
that you left lying around
I don't have you with me but
I keep a good attitude
Do you miss me--Miss Misery--
like you say you do?

I know you'd rather see me gone
than to see me the way that I am
but I am in your life, anyway

Next door TVs flashing blue
frames on the wall
It's a comedy of errors, you see;
it's about taking a fall
to vanish into oblivion
it's easy to do
and I try to be
but you know me I come back when you want me to
Do you miss me--Miss Misery--
like you say you do?
