ELLIOTT SMITH LYRICS - Son Of Sam

"Son Of Sam"



Something's happening, don't speak too soon

I told the boss off and made my move

Got nowhere to go

Son of Sam, son of the shining path, the clouded mind

The couple killer each and every time

I'm not uncomfortable, feeling weird

Lonely leered, options disappeared

But I know what to do

Son of Sam, son of a doctor's touch, a nurse's love

Acting under orders from above

King for a day

Son of Sam, son of the shining path, the clouded mind

The couple killer running out of time

Shiva opens her arms now to make sure I don't get too far

I may talk in my sleep tonight 'cos I don't know what I am

I'm a little like you
