EELS LYRICS - The Only Thing I Care About

"The Only Thing I Care About"



She had the eyes of someone older

I have the eyes that wander 'round

I couldn't see what really mattered



Caught hell from my boss

Don't care about my job

Caught a cold from the rain

Don't care if i'm cold

Played every record that i own today

But the only thing i care about got away



She was a walking work of art

I am a broken wind-up toy

I thought i knew what really mattered



Got a flat on the road

Don't care about my car

Lost twenty-six bucks

Don't care about my rent

Caught every episode on tv today

But the only thing i care about got away



She had a brilliant future

I have a past

I have my memories

But they're fading fast
