Cat Power - What Would The Community Think (2002) by Cat Power (보컬) on maniadb.com

In this hole that we have fixed
We get further and further and further
From the world
We must do

I saw you asleep beside a wall
Your skull inside a ball
Your eyes blackened by
The sound and the thought of God
Where should I hang my head?
Where would you like for me to hang my head?

One absence of truth
And one horrible thing I saw
What you truly wanted to become
And who you thought I was
The fall, the fall
Afraid to love
What is deeper than the grave
Goes all the way down those tracks
Everybody bow your head for the greatest inspiration
Complete contradiction
Away

In this hole that we have fixed
We get further and further
From the world
We must do
I know this, I know this
You know this, you know this

In this hole that we have fixed
We get further and further and further
From the world
We must do

I saw you outside that wall
Your skull outside that wall
Your eyes perceived by the sound
And the light of God

After this there will be no one
After this there will be no one
After this there will be no one
After this there will be hats on different bodies
After this there will be no more
Beautiful dresses
After this there will be fast cast

After this there will be no one
After this there will be no one
After this there will be no one
After this there will be no more good clean fun

I forgive you for the rest
Even the whole time I was tested
Nobody does it better
Baby, you're the best

After this there will be no one
After this there will be so many good ones

After this there will be less interest
After this there will be no one
No one
No one

Hey, I'm really down on my luck
Hey, can I have something from you?
But it seems I have nothing to give
It seems you have nothing to give

After this there will be no one
After this there will be no one
After this there will be no one
After this there will be no more good clean fun

I forgive you for the rest
Even the whole time I was tested
Nobody does it better
Baby, you're the best

I still have a flame gun
For the cute, cute, cute ones

And I saw your hand
With a loose grip
On a tight ship

I still have a flame gun
For the cute ones
To burn out all your tricks
And I saw your hand
With a loose grip
On a very tight ship

And I know
In the cold light
There's a very big man
There's a very big man
Leading us into
Temptation

Jackson, Jesse, I've got a son in me
Jackson, Jesse, I've got a son in me

And he's related to you
He's related to you
He is waiting to meet you

He's related to you
He's related to you
He is dying to meet you

Backhand, role reversal
Where is someone?
Backhand, reversible roles
I know there's someone

I still have a flame gun
For the cute ones
To burn out all your tricks
And I saw your hand
With a loose grip
On such a tight ship

And I know in the cold light
There's a very big man
Leading us into
Temptation

Jackson, Jesse, I've got a son in me
Jackson, Jesse, I've got a son in me

And he's related to you
He's related to you
He is waiting to meet you

He's related to you
He's related to you
He is dying to meet you

He's related to you
He's related to you
He's related to you
He's nude as the news, nude as the news
Nude as the news, nude as the news
All over, all over, all over, all over, all over, all over, all over
You

They tell me what they do
I don't know what they're talking about
They tell me what they do
I don't understand what they're talking about
They're talking about it

I did not start this conversation
I don't intend to keep talking about it
They tell me about it

Maybe if I pray to the Lord above
I'll get some sleep
But the Lord don't give a shit about me

They tell me what they do
How can I help it?
How can I help it?
I sure can't shut them up

Who, who never showed you
About the easy way?
Whose robes did they trade you
For such an easy life?

Who, who never showed you
About the easy way?
Who, who never told you
About the perfect life?
Guess it's some kind of
Some guarantee
You'll never see

If I was a photographer
Picture taking
Beautiful people
I guess I'd make a mistake
'Cause I'd probably take a
Picture of you

Who, who never showed you
All about the easy way?
And whose robes did they trade you
Over such a perfect life?
Well, that's such a guarantee

It leaves some certain sickness
You'll never know
Inside of me

And that's all I have

If time had a place
And space for your past
Like a little novel
You wanted to read again and again
Would I be in your novel?
Would I begin and end in it?

If I had a place
And space for your little boy eyes
Could you really believe?
I certainly dare you
I do not want to scare you
Anymore

Oh, what a fuss when the king rides by
Oh, what a fuss when the king rides
Straight through my heart
Straight through my life

Need your love more than you'll ever know

A light kiss, the touch of your hand
A million things I will never understand
Oh, what a fuss when the king trades in
Oh, what a fuss when the king trades

All of my love
For someone else's hand
Need your love more than you'll ever know

You don't miss your water
You don't miss your water
'Til your well is gone

Mother don't sit
Mother don't stand
Mother don't send me

Sister come and lay your head on me,
I can see you haven't had any sleep in a long time

That baby's gonna be so easy on me,
Never see his smile
Never see his face

Father said he was gonna give me something,
He gave me hate

Mother don't sit
Mother don't stand
Mother don't send me

Brother can't even speak,
He's got a tongue and two legs to walk on,
And he can't leave
Brother is old and gray,
Brother is old and gray,
Brother is old and gray,
And he's only
He's only seventeen

Father said he was gonna give me something,
He gave me hate

Mother don't sit
Mother don't stand
Mother please don't send me

What happened to home sweet
