Elliot Smith Everything Means Nothing To Me Lyrics

someone found the future as a statue in a fountain
at attention looking backward in a pool of water
wishes with a blue songbird on his shoulder
who keeps singing over everything.

everything means nothing to me
everything means nothing to me
everything means nothing to me

i picked up the song and found my picture
in the paper the reflection in the water showed
an iron man still trying to salute people
from a time when he was everything he's supposed to be

everything means nothing to me
everything means nothing to me
everything means nothing to me
everything means nothing to me
everything means nothing to me
everything means nothing to me
everything means nothing to me
everything means nothing to me
everything means nothing to me
everything means nothing to me
everything means nothing to me
everything means nothing to me
everything means nothing to me
everything means nothing to me
everything means nothing to me
everything means nothing to me
everything means nothing to me...
