Text: Elliott Smith. Soundtrack Exclusives & Rarities. How to Take a Fall.

It's when we're cover to cover
It's an endless fuse
Chain led Peter
Never seems to get any smarter

I'm always marking pages
So that I don't get confused
End up in a fight
I never had any part of

Listen naive plaything coming over
Clueless, every time you call
An accident just waiting to happen
Still hasn't failed out, how to take a fall?

Make me a present
Make it something sweet
Small enough to go unnoticed
And big enough to complete

What does a massive pass
That keeps blocking up my street
Looking for a new contender
To disassemble

Listen naive plaything coming over
Clueless, every time you call
An accident just waiting to happen
Still hasn't failed out, how to take a fall?

How to take a fall? How to take a fall?
