Bottle Rocket

by Elliott Smith

He's a sink-by-numbers
A watery life of a deep repent (?)
Bothered, I'm under my own collar
I'm the idiot who knows your name
(Anxious to hide)

Hit it on my way down
(Just broken in two)
Right out the door
And lose mighty fast
(?)

I'm a whole cospiracy
(I'll wind it up)
I'm gonna have him framed
(On my defense)
Oh, anything to pin him down
(Does any of it matter?)
I'm the idiot who won't take the blame
(Anxious to hide)

Hit it on my way down
(Just broken in two)
Right out the door
And lose mighty fast
(Anxious to hide)
But I can't win now
No I just can't

I never swallowed that spike before
A watery life of a deep repent (?)
(All of this s**t)
I'm bothered, I'm under on my own collar
(All of this s**t)
I'm the idiot who knows your name
(Set yourself off)

Hit it on my way down
(Just broken in two)
Right out the door
And lose mighty fast
(Anxious to hide)
But I can't win now
No I just can't
(I can't win now, already stepped in the socket)
Can't win now
(Set myself off like a bottle rocket)
Oh I just can't
(Set myself off like a bottle rocket)
Can't win now
