No Name #1 - Elliott Smith

at a party he was waiting

looking kind of spooky and withdrawn

like he could be underwater

the mighty mother with her hundred arms

swept all aside

i hate to walk behind other people’s ambition

i saw you waiting

saint like

with your warning

leave alone

you don’t belong here

he got nervous

started whistling

every thought a ricochet

did you notice?

well i wondered

what’s the worst thing i could say?

and i froze up and sighed

you remind me of someones daughter

i forgot her

i forgot her name ashamed

go home and live with your pain

leave alone

leave alone 'cos you know you don’t belong

you don’t belong here

and when i go don’t you follow

leave alone

leave alone 'cos you know you don’t belong

you don’t belong here

slip out quiet

nobody’s looking

leave alone

you don’t belong here
