Struck Down Again Lyrics
You get what you see
You're sad that you saw me completely
I thought you were looking through me
And now I'll never know
I don't look my best
But I might suit you better than the rest
If everything was surface
I'd be a brave man
I'd stand still, burning
Light up, learning
But now, I'm just trying to salve my candles in
Struck down again
There's a parliament of owls
Flying over a city of canals
People taking pictures
Of our star shooting down
You get what you see
Some things they just change invisibly
I don't know where I'm going
I don't even want to know
Stand still, burning
Light up, learning
Waiting for this needle spout to end
Struck down again
Sailing oceans
Sick from motion
Thinking of the times you reeled me in
Strung out again
Strung out again
Strung out again
You're sad that you saw me completely
I thought you were looking through me
And now I'll never know
But I might suit you better than the rest
If everything was surface
I'd be a brave man
Light up, learning
But now, I'm just trying to salve my candles in
Struck down again
Flying over a city of canals
People taking pictures
Of our star shooting down
Some things they just change invisibly
I don't know where I'm going
I don't even want to know
Light up, learning
Waiting for this needle spout to end
Struck down again
Sick from motion
Thinking of the times you reeled me in
Strung out again
Strung out again
Strung out again

same tune as strung out again?
yep.
Does anyone know where can I get this song?
at the moment it's at http://hypem.com/track/294636/Elliott+Smith+(live)-strung+out+again+(early+version)
also, i hear "waiting for this evil spell to end" rather than waiting for this needle spout to end.
I've been looking for this song for ages! I listened to it at the link above [thanks so much!] but I would really like an mp3 of the song to listen to on my way to school. If anyone could help me I'd be forever in your debt! Thanks!!
the verses are brilliant... but, I prefer the chorus to strung out again.
