Can`t Make a Sound — текст песни (Elliott Smith)

i have become a silent movie
the hero killed the clown

can`t make a sound

nobody knows what he`s doing
still hanging around

can`t make a sound

the slow motion moves me
the monologue means nothing to me

bored in a role, but he can`t stop
standing up to sit back down
and lose the one thing found
spinning the world like a toy top
till there`s a ghost in every town

can`t make a sound

eyes locked and shining
can`t you tell me what`s happening?

why should you want any other, when you`re a world within a world?
