"Amanda Cecilia" lyrics - ELLIOTT SMITH

ELLIOTT SMITH
"Amanda Cecilia"

Saw you walking around through old town
I thought you said you weren't gonna 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, 'cause 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 gonna answer

Saw you walking around through old town
Thought you said you wouldn't come to
Me to score
'Cause you got a little baby now,
I don't wanna 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
