[00:00.00]Elaine - Mark Kozelek
[00:22.73]The hospital called last night
[00:26.31]They said you'd gone code silver
[00:30.16]They sent the police out searching
[00:33.90]Found you down at fifth and minna
[00:38.20]High on crack c***e
[00:40.92]You and I f**k juan valdez
[00:45.36]They sent him back to jail
[00:48.76]And they put you back to bed
[00:52.64]They called in the morning
[00:54.99]Said you were found outside
[00:57.59]And put the phone down
[01:00.24]Your cat jumped on my lap
[01:03.20]And I laid down and I took a nap
[01:07.62]Feeling bad and full of shame
[01:10.36]That I somehow contributed to your pain
[01:14.24]I wish I could help you with your problems
[01:17.94]But babe I got enough of my own
[01:22.74]I fell asleep and dreamed of you
[01:26.30]The PA said code blue
[01:29.95]I hailed a taxicab
[01:32.66]Got there and found you up in west two
[01:37.22]My beautiful sweet elaine
[01:40.70]So my looking and you finally drained
[01:44.53]You sweet angelic face
[01:47.03]And I kneeled down
[01:48.39]And I whispered your name
[02:18.97]I cried and I cried
[02:20.87]You crawled and found a corner
[02:22.42]And you died
[02:24.11]And kiss you sweet elaine goodbye
[02:26.73]And I walked out in the rain
[02:29.62]Walked out in the rain
[02:31.43]And there you were again
[02:33.81]Looking down on me from high
[02:36.41]Like a cloud in the sky
[02:44.12]I cried and I cried
[02:46.67]I remembered all the nights
[02:49.01]That I loved my sweet elaine
[02:51.55]That I kissed my sweet elaine
[02:54.46]Then I looked up high
[02:56.42]Saw you floating in the sky
[02:58.84]And I cried and I cried
[03:01.26]Like a baby I cried
[03:23.53]Not much to pick from in my view
[03:28.82]Trees that shake
[03:30.79]When the wind comes through
[03:34.00]Boats I guess
[03:36.02]And the water is blue
[03:38.30]But I only feel alive when the birds fly
[03:48.22]Not much to pick from
[03:50.66]In my record collection
[03:53.34]Sold them all away
[03:55.33]Don't want no recollection
[03:58.35]Put them in the past
[04:00.19]Don't wanna hear the songs
[04:02.72]Just wanna play guitar and sing my own
[04:25.59]The phone rang
[04:26.65]I picked up it was you
[04:29.03]You said you were out there waiting
[04:33.06]I hailed a taxi pulled up front
[04:36.34]There stood a pretty lady smoking a cigarette
[04:42.52]Looking eight pounds heavier
[04:46.39]I took on to the back
[04:50.90]Put your bags in the trunk
[04:58.16]Thank you very much
