Saw you walking around through old town
I thought you said you weren't going to be a hit no more
Cecilia Amanda
I don't want to see you get like you got before
Amanda showed me a new party dress yesterday
Dancing to records he scratched
The two of you's a study in making total opposites match
Little Miss Amanda wants to know how long you're going to be gone
And she asked me can I fix it so the record plays the rest of her song
She ain't got a father now, because he's buried below
Way up high in the sky with all the people she knows
I'm seeing the crush kill the kid
The things you promised you never did
She asked me are you a pretty dancer
But I don't think I'm going to answer
Saw you walking around through old town
Thought you said you wouldn't come to me to score
Because you got a little baby now
I don't want to see you around here no more
Amanda showed me a new party dress yesterday
Dancing to records he scratched
Some dealing amateur actor making opposites match
I thought you said you weren't going to be a hit no more

Well, I think I'll join stasiuk in being one of the only people to actually discuss the lyrics rather than waste space by talking about how OMFGAMAZING this song is.
What I get from it, he's friends with a couple who are a pair of "total opposites" - the girl is some beautiful, sweet, delicate thing and the guy treats her badly and takes her for granted. Elliott (or the song-Elliott, however you want to put it) is in love with her, but stays away because she's with someone else. But he's still there for her, hence how she comes to him to fix the records. The girl still loves her boyfriend for whatever reason, and they end up having a baby. The guy's a drug addict and comes to Elliott to score drugs and Elliott sends him away. The end of the song is them all back where they started. Pretty straightforward. Oh yeah, and it's a lovely song.
