See You Later Lyrics
You got a choke chain
Made out of nightrain
To keep your memory down
In quicksand from the main man
To drown everything out
Always out on a joyride
Lay it out from insides
Always at a dead stall
From sticking pins into miniature men
Who can’t feel it at all
See you later
See you later
If I see you at all
See you later
Walk through thick mud
Looking for new blood
Thinking I heard your name
Cruel imagination is still giving me pain
Just to find you with the
Masterminder
Of one of your little affairs
Saying how he loves you now
Let me show you how much I care
See you later
See you later
If I see you at all
Made out of nightrain
To keep your memory down
In quicksand from the main man
To drown everything out
Always out on a joyride
Lay it out from insides
Always at a dead stall
From sticking pins into miniature men
Who can’t feel it at all
See you later
If I see you at all
See you later
Looking for new blood
Thinking I heard your name
Cruel imagination is still giving me pain
Just to find you with the
Masterminder
Of one of your little affairs
Saying how he loves you now
Let me show you how much I care
See you later
If I see you at all

Good song.
nightrain = nitrate gel = drown
it is nightrain...that is a drink and ELliott does a beauitful solo version of this on www.elliottsmithbsides.com
I always heard 'an image of me', not 'miniature men.' anyway... good song...
IDK if this is related to his breaking up with his ex-GF JJ. Gonson, which, as far as I know, was reluctant to let Elliott go...
Possibly it refers to when Gonson was still hurt by Elliott's rejection so she tried to send the message that she was better off with another relationship.
Anyway, this is a great song to talk about those kinds of difficult ruptures where you give up and one of the people in the relationship is that kind of self-attention ho*s that wants to spit on your face how much they are better off without the other... but then the cold answer and the most logical one is "who TF cares".
