Everybody Cares, Everybody Understands (alt version) Elliott Smith

Everybody cares, everybody understands
Yes, everybody cares about you
As a matter of fact, I'm sure they do
But if you don't act just right, they kick you in the head
But I wouldn't take it offensively
They're doing it out of sympathy
And you're the one who's bringing it all about

So here I lay, dreaming, looking at the brilliant sun
Raining its guiding light upon everyone

For a moment's rest, I lean against the banister
After running upstairs again and again
From a place, you people, you've never been
With all of your city's finest following behind
With a greater skill and resourcefulness
After putting me under a wrongful arrest
Stuck me out to the desert to dry and die

So here I lay, dreaming, looking at the brilliant sun
Raining its guiding light upon everyone
Here I lay, dreaming, looking at the brilliant sun
Pushing its guiding light upon everyone

The dream-killing doctor says to describe my dream
But some things are for no one to know
And for you, twelve-stepping cop, to not find out
