Lyrics - No Name #1 by Elliot Smith

at a party he was waitinglooking kind of spooky and withdrawnlike he could be underwaterthe mighty mother with her hundred armsswept all aside
I hate to walk behind other people's ambition
I saw you waitingsaint like with your warningleave alone, you don't belong herehe got nervous, started whistlingevery thought a ricochetdid you notice, well
I wonderedwhat's the worst thing
I could sayand
I froze up and sighedyou remind me of someones daughter
I forgot her,
I forgot her name ashamedgo home and live with your painleave alone, leave alone'cause you know you don't belongyou don't belong hereand when
I go don't you followleave alone, leave alone'cause you know you don't belongyou don't belong hereslip out quiet, nobody's lookingleave alone, you don't belong here
