Division Day — текст песни (Elliott Smith)

there was grown man dying from fright
so surprised by the things he`d say
with a giant fantasy life
running `round on feet of clay

naked except for a perpetual debt
that couldn`t be stripped away
an unrightable wrong that moved him
along closer to division day

spent a long time living with that
never could give it a name
and when you don`t know what you`re
looking at it makes it much harder to take

mostly they`d meet when he was
asleep and have some sick exchange
that stuck him as wrong and moved him
along closer to division day

i can`t make an exception for a bad
connection that only goes one way
sell out for a song where i don`t belong
with you on division day

the moon stood up on the ridge
looking down where the water shines
and a man looking over the bridge
like he done so many times

thinking about how to stay out
out of troubles way and
flying to fall away from you all
it`s over division day
beautiful division day

thinking about how to stay out
out of troubles way
flying to fall away from you all
it`s over division day
beautiful division day
