Cupid's Trick - Elliott Smith

She’s shaking down

I’m absent and numb from shock

Reaching around for the hands of the clock

Should’ve lied

Lit me up, it’s my lie

Should’ve lit me up, it’s my lie

Should’ve lit me up, it’s my lie

Should’ve lit me up Cupid’s trick comes

Down to shake and deal

The stupid kick that makes me real

Should’ve lied

Lit me up, it’s my lie

Should’ve lit me up, it’s my lie

Should’ve lit me up, it’s my lie

Should’ve lit me up She’s shaking down

It’s never over and done.

So, kick me, cane me then I’ll know

Why

Lit me up, it’s my lie

Should’ve lit me up, it’s my lie

Should’ve lit me up, it’s my lie

Should’ve lit me up
