Miss misery
(Elliot Smith)

Fisherman's blues Spä¯ No name #3

I'll fake it through the day
With some help from Johnny Walker Red
Send the poison 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?

Met 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 the magazine
That you left lying around
Don't hate 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 and no life anyway
Next door TV's
flashing blue frames on the wall
It's a comedy of errors you see
It's about taking a fall
To vent at you to oblivion, it's easy to do
And I try to leave but you know me,
I come back when you want me to
Do you miss me, Miss Misery,
Like you say you do?
