Take the giver of our lives, push her aside,
Cut down the greens, and spit black to the hevens
Make way for the rumblings of trucks and trains,
To put carbon on your wife’s finger,
I hope her smile will just this murder.
For every twinkle in her eye and every kiss of thanks she gives,
steals a million of year from our host.
Turn a blind eye, for you don’t understand her bleed, her pain,
Think, open your eye, look to these dirty skies,
Like a drowning child, she is screaming, this slow, terrible death,
For every excessive passing ray of sun is like a dagger in her back,
but the knife of hate is in your hand, on your finger
I hope her smile will just this murder

sorry. what?
i could not hear/
oh
it was only my
foot in my ear
don't you say?
my mind is over
my mind is over
who!
i could not speak/
ah
it was only my
life in the air
implied promises
and can i stay,
i dont have time for this
and for you,
all this yes,
it is gonna break as
i feel my heart going out
lets see if you can
pull me out of this
i am not certain
i am just stuck here
on the edge
standing on the edge
everything is going
going to break
metal heart....
Losing the star without a sky
Losing the reasons why
losing the calling that you've been faking
And I'm not kidding you
It's damned if you don't and it's damned if you do
Be true 'cause they'll lock you up
in a sad sad zoo
what are you tryin to prove
By hiding you're not worth a thing
Sew your fortunes on a string
And hold them up to light
Blue smoke will take
A very violent flight
And you will be changed
and everything
And you will be in a very sad sad zoo.
I once was lost but now I'm found
was blind
But now I see
How selfish of you
to believe
in the meaning of
all the bad dreams
Metal heart you're not hiding
Metal heart you're not worth a thing

the words of the godess herself
cat power.
--
it is all in my mind
not something
i usually post
but
there are some people
who lift my soul
further than i could
ever
with words
glad
there are some people
who could spin a vowel heavy
word into my thick head
and play it slowly back
to what seems like an
infinitum
driving home the thought
why these lyrics
sound so deep in my heart
simple. yes.
but we all require a little more
more thought
than what is just presented.
--It is all in your mind--
Well it's all in you mind
It's all in you mind
Well it's all in your mind
And I wanted to be
I wanted to be
Wanted to be your good friend
Well I cannot believe
You got a devil up your sleeve
And he's talking to me
And I cannot believe
And I wanted to be
I wanted to be your good friend
You're all scared and stiff
A sick stolen gift
And the people you're with
They're all scared and stiff
And I wanted to be
Wanted to be your good friend
