Elsie Lyrics
She never had an education
She uses life as her vocation
Standing on ledges clinging to the edges
The world's a hard place to land onShe has this one way conversation
Trying to avoid a confrontation
Memories of the kind she's rather leave behind
The worlds' a hard place to land onLife can be lonely can be very sad
Can be something you wish you never hadShe never had any affection
So she relates well to rejection
No stories wait discovery
Dreams have passed recovery
The worlds a hard place to land onShe just sleeps all day
In her squalid little slum
And takes little white pills
To make her body feel numb
And it's dark and dirty
And there's nothing left to eat
And in her heart there's a feeling of defeat
Smells of bus and fornication
And a bottle of cheat scent
Should she stick around
If this is all that life meantLife can be lonely can be very sad
Can be something you wish you never hadOpen the door wally, open the door
