she was hard and as cracked as the liberty bell

don’t go down
elliott smith

i met a girl
snowball in hell
she was hard
and as cracked as the liberty bell
i got her to
come on and move in with me
and i said i’d find a better place
we could spend eternity

don’t go down
don’t go down
stay with me, baby stay

her mama called me a thief
and her dad called himself
commander in chief
i fought him off with my love
but i knew the sense of worthlessness she would have to raise above

don’t go down
don’t go down
stay with me, baby stay
don’t go down
don’t go down
stay with me, baby stay

she had a dream
woke up in shock
she had seen
her own body outlined in chalk
i split the scene the globe been spun
and her ghost leaned down to kiss me
with a message from the sun

don’t go down
don’t go down
stay with me, baby stay
don’t go down
stay with me, baby stay
don’t go down
stay with me, baby stay
