Lyrics The Biggest Lie - Elliott Smith

The Biggest Lie

I’m waiting for the train
Subway that only goes one way
The stupid thing that’ll come to pull us apart
And make everybody late
You spent everything you had
Wanted everything to stop that bad
Now I’m a crashed credit card registered to Smith —
Not the name that you called me with
You turned white like a saint
I’m tired of dancing on a pot of gold-flaked paint
Oh we’re so very precious, you and I
And everything that you do makes me want to die
Oh I just told the biggest lie
I just told the biggest lie
The biggest lie
