Elliott Smith How to Take a Fall Lyrics

It's one word, cover-to-cover
It's an endless fuse
Chain-repeater never seems to get any smarter

I'm always marking pages
So that I don't get confused
End up in a fight I never had any part of

Listen, naive plaything
Coming over, clueless
Every time you call
An accident just waiting to happen
Still hasn't failed out
How to take a fall

Make me a present
Make it something sweet
Small enough to go unnoticed and
Big enough to compete

What does a massive pass that keeps
Blocking up my street
Looking for a new contender to disassemble

Listen, naive plaything
Coming over, clueless
Every time you call
An accident just waiting to happen
Still hasn't failed out
How to take a fall
How to take a fall
How to take a fall
