No Name #1 Lyrics - Elliot Smith

At a party, he was waiting 

Looking kind of spooky and withdrawn 

Like he could be underwater 

The mighty mother with her hundred arms 

Swept all aside 

I hate to walk behind other people's ambition 

I saw you waiting saint like with your warning 

Leave alone, you don't belong here 

He got nervous, started whistling 

Every thought a ricochet 

Did you notice? Well, I wondered 

What's the worst thing I could say? 

And I froze up and sighed 

You remind me of someone's daughter 

I forgot her, I forgot her name ashamed 

Go home and live with your pain 

Leave alone, leave alone 

'Cos you know you don't belong 

You don't belong here 

And when I go, don't you follow? 

Leave alone, leave alone 

'Cos you know you don't belong 

You don't belong here 

Slip out quiet, nobody's looking 

Leave alone, you don't belong here
