Elliott Smith

Everything Means Nothing to Me

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

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
