Lyrics A Living Will - Elliott Smith, Tom Rothrock

A Living Will

Time to kill, wrote a living will
And gave it to the man in the moon
But I’m gonna get well soon
This happy face is watching me die
Elevate me to another world
All that I can do on my own
Is leave well enough alone
Leave well enough alone
Leave well enough alone
Circumstance dropped by
Uninvited and demand to be fed
But I’ve already gone to bed
There’s nothing you can see from inside
But a spirit arose and put on my clothes
And helped me, disconnecting the phone
To leave well enough alone
Leave well enough alone
Leave well enough alone
Time was I was a wild animal in a cage
First it’s all a reaction
Now its all a parade
I’m waking up at a station stop
And reality’s invading my brain
The cops wanna search the train
They’ll take away whatever they find
But I don’t have the thoughts you want
Just a memory of love I was shown
A vision that turns to stone
Leave well enough alone
Leave well enough alone
