歌词[THE GREATEST-CAT POWER]

THE GREATEST Once I wanted to be the greatest No wind or waterfall could stop me And then came the rush of the flood The stars at night turned you to dust Melt me down To big black armour Leave no trace Of grace Just in your honor Lower me down That corporate slob Make a watch For a space in town For the lack of the dreds Of my bed I've been sleeping Lower me down Pin me in Secure the grounds For the later parade Once I wanted to be the greatest Two fists of solid rock When things I couldn't explain Any feelings Lower me down Pin me in Secure the grounds For the lack of the drugs My faith had been sleeping For the later parade Once I wanted to be the greatest No wind or water fall could stop me And then came the rush of the flood The stars at night turned you to dust COULD WE take a walk could we have a talk alone in the afternoon could we heave a seat why yes be my guest you can hold my hand what a dream in the grass we kissd fell in love too fast too soon love full bloom should we get up let's wake up let's get dressed i'll let you walk me up the street back home thank you it was great lets make another date real soon in the afternoon LIVED IN BARS we've lived in bars and danced on the tables hotels trains and ships that sail we sim with sharks and fly with aeroplanes in the air send in the trumpets the marching wheelchairs open the blankets and give them some air swords and arches bones and cement the lights and the dark of the innocent of men we know your house so very well and we will wake you once we've walked up all your stairs there's nothing like living in a bottle and nothing like ending it all for the world we're so glad you will come back every living lion will lay in your lap the kid has a homecoming the champion the horse who's gonna play drums guitar or organ with chorus as far as we've walked from both of ends of the sand never have we caught a glimpse of this man we know your house so very well and we will bust down your door if you're not there we've lived in bars and danced on tables hotels trains and ships that sail we swim with sharks and fly with aeroplanes out of here out of here ISLANDS i want to rule the islands and i want to rule the sea but if you're not coming back i will sleep eternally i don't want no heavy diamonds and pearls crush my teeth i just want my sailor to sail back to me the captain has a treasure says i hold the key but old mangroves and sweet winds blow songs of you and me i want to rule the islands and i want to rule the sea but if you're not coming back i will sleep eternally AFTER IT ALL when its said and done will you come back to me and tell me that it never was up to you or up to me when you stand up so tall with your back to me agains the wall and make demands with your angry hands you say you're sorry that you didn't mean to scream you say you're back again that you still love me and that ya never meant what you said to me should i believe what you're telling me to wait for you was all i could do to have you back with me so peacefully you broke your back you left your scratch then you came back to me just to get some sleep after it all when its all said and done will you come back to me and tell me that it never was up to you or up to me THE MOON the moon is not only beautiful it is so far away the moon is not only ice cold it is here to stay when i lay me down will you still be around when they put me six feet underground will the big bad beautiful you be around everyone says they know you better than you know who everyone says they own you more than you do when i lay me down will you still be around when they put you six feet underground will the big bad beautiful moon be around 'cause the moon is not only beautiful it is so far away the moon is not only ice cold it is here to stay everyone says they know you better than you know who everyone says they own you more than you do LIVING PROOF It's not your face Or the color of your hair Or the sound of your voice my dear That's got me dragged in here It's the ice in the seam, the scheme of you You're supposed to have the answer You're supposed to have living proof Yes i was jealous Because you are sworn How could you come undone to a word so strong My beating heart the anchor to a ship so warm You're supposed to have the answer You're supposed to have living proof Well i am your answer i am living Will you terrorize this With your perfect lips I watch you eat and feed this mess To the running wind But i know you from before and after until then Do you have your answer Do you have living proof Well i am your answer i am living You're supposed to have an answer You're supposed to have living proof Well do you have your answer Do you have your answer Well i am your answer i am living EMPTY SHELL all that is left is an empty shell of my heart that is crushed i don't never wanna see what my mind has seen when you loved me every night, every night alone with you every night alone now when she sits on your lap try to pretend to laugh when she does stupid things just like i used to do do no hate her don't you even try for to leave her is to love her the same as you and i I love you and i miss you too i really do love you and i really miss you too but i don't know you and i don't need you and i don't want you anymore every night, every night alone with you every night alone now WILLIE willie deadwilder and rebecca they knew that they loved one another gonna have a real good time no more sad sad bad times it's all they've been waiting for someon to knock at the door willie was shot once in his mind and his cry out saved his own life the second time was through the heart the doctors pulled the bullet from inside he had a job to do he said that's his way of life please don't bring him down please don't let him go he's on the same side as you he's just a little behind i tell ya there are some people living alone i tell ya there are some people with nowhere to go there are some people who don't believe in love but willie and rebecca prove 'em all wrong a man named john wrote a song for me to sing and the most beautiful flowers i have ever seen he is a very good man and he has been an even very good man to me i hope one day his song i will sing another love i still love familiar face to me a standing arch above my heart i've never been to reach he's laid my head on the bed and told me sweety i am not crazy like all the others said no he's not crazy like me please don't bring me down please don't let me go my heart is a worried thing memories have planted seeds of a field i now want to reap and sow i'm on the same side as you i'm just a little bit behind WHERE IS MY LOVE Where is my love Horses galloping Bring him to me Where is my love Where is my Love horses running free Carring you and me Where is my love Where is my love Safe and warm so close to me in my arms finally there is my love there is my love horses galloping bringing him to me where is my love where is my love? HATE Anyone can tell you there’s no more road to ride Everyone will tell you there’s no place to hide There’s no laws or rules to enchain your life but the ones who didn’t make it, The ones who couldn’t take it, so glad they made it out alive Everyone loves the fun Everyone comes by In the wind I crunch, I want to die They can give me pills or let me drink my fill The heart wants to explode far away where nobody knows Do you believe she said that? Do you believe she said that? I said I hate myself and I want to die. Half of it is innocent the other half is wise The whole damn thing makes no sense I wish I could tell you a lie Hey, come here let me whisper in your ear I hate myself and I want to die. Do you believe she said that? Can you believe she repeated that? I said, I hate me myself and I said I hate myself and I want to die LOVE AND COMMUNICATION you were here for me At this very moment 'cause I found you on the phone You called me And you were not hunting me Learning more and more about less and less and less On the edge of your seat in some dark movie Can you memorize the scenes They'll be different next week Can you tell me can you tell can you tell If there is something better 'cause you know there always is There always is Drawn to the party like a spider filling up your guts Don't hate the night with what you shouldn't have Come along for the ride you just know you should You just know you should Can you tell me can you tell can you tell If there is something better 'cause you know there always is There always is Hated to see you sad when I left There's just no good in that but the good part was That I came at all 'cause I don't venture out Into the lives of the new I want you to come along for the ride How long will you stay for your whole life You just know you should Can you tell me can you tell can you tell If there is something better 'cause you know there always is There always is Love and communication you were here for me At this very moment 'cause I found you on the phone You called me And you were not hunting me
