Amanda Cecilia Lyrics

Elliott Smith Amanda Cecilia

black and blue from passing around
whitey says the lady ain't a hit no more
cecelia amanda i don't wanna see you get like you got before
another patient in a party dress yesterday
dancing on a remenant scratch
in a place where lonely men pay to make their opposites match
little miss amanda wants to know how long you're going to be gone
but she asked me can i fix it so your record plays the rest of her song
'cause every rememberance of you has been buried below
every memory that i unhappily know
i'm sorry for you and your kid
the things you promised that you never did
she asked me are you a pretty dancer
but i dont think i'm gonna answer
black and blue from passing around
whitey sent you back to the daily score
but you got a little baby now
i don't wanna see you around here no more
amanda put on a new party dress
dancing to a record you scratched
with some dealing amateur actor making opposites match
