Bottle Up And Explode (Early Version)
by Elliott Smith
 
bottle up and explode over and over
cos you react slower than slow
put it away,check out for the day
in for a round of over exposure
the things mother nature provides
to get up and go
bottle up and explode
seeing stars surrounding you
red white and blue
she looks at him like hes never known her
but its only been a year and half
thinking that that was a matter of fact
thinking that he was about to come over
standing up waiting for you
but you never showed
bottle up and explode all the outside signs of you 
red white and blue
bottle up and explode all the outside signs of you
red white and blue
 
 
 
Bottle up and explode!
Elliott Smith
