"Can't Make A Sound" lyrics

Elliott Smith Lyrics

"Can't Make A Sound"

I have become a silent movie
The hero killed the clown

Can't make a sound
Can't make a sound
Can't make a sound

Nobody knows what he's doing
Still hanging around

Can't make a sound
Can't make a sound
Can't make a sound
Can't make a sound

The slow motion moves me
The monologue means nothing to me

Bored in the role, but he can't stop
Standing up to sit back down
Or lose the one thing found

Spinning the world like a toy top
'Til there's a ghost in every town

Can't make a sound
Can't make a sound
Can't make a sound
Can't make a sound

Eyes locked and shining
Can't you tell me what's happening?

Why should you want any other
When you're a world within a world?
Why should you want any other
When you're a world within a world?
Why should you want any other
When you're a world within a world?
Why should you want any other
When you're a world within a world?
