DESCRIPTION:
One of my favourites by Elliott Smith. This clip is from around 2009, when I actually lived in a basement on a hill.

Lyrics:
The ghost of your smile is always looking for new
Bodies to haunt
And its been here
And disappeared
Its hanging around aloofly for awhile
Gradually gone
Its pleasing
And freezing

Well I wonder what it is you're after
Keeping company with this disaster
You looked all over town
Got turned around
To walk back through the mud
The kind you had left behind you

Everybody is the same in this long no-win game
Where every new blood gets time to
Become resigned

Now I wonder what it is you're after
Keeping company with this disaster
Why you never tried to tame your master

You just blow through the coals
Blow through the coals
Blow through the coals
Till everyone knows
That your smile is just a ghost
The ghost of your smile was seen on a body in the park
Its old news
You see that its no use
Waiting to start
Waiting to light
Waiting till dark
I told you man
I told you
Well I wonder what it is you're after
Keeping company with this disaster
Why you never tried to tame your master
