Bottle Up and Explode! Songtext
von Elliott Smith

Record that plays over and over
There′s a kid in the story below
Trying to stay
Up and awake
His running love of crimson and clover
The needle should've worn it away
A long time ago
Everything around here happens so slow


′Cause no one needs to know

I'm looking out my window now
And the snow is falling deep around a man asleep
He doesn't know he′s dying now
From the cruelty and the cold
Anywhere that the damage doesn′t show

So no one needs to know

Everything around here happens so slow
No one needs to know
No, no one needs to know
