Cat Power Album

I've seen you a couple of times
Guess I've seen you three times
Walking circles around me
When you stand in front of my eyes
I'll make sure I'll look
I'll make sure I'll look
I'll make sure I'll look
Away
Away, away
Away
She like a little Chinese
She is Chinese
Maybe it would be nicer if I said Japanese
She comes around you and me
And when you stand in front of my eyes
I will look
I will look
I will look
Away, away, away
Away, away, away
She looks in distress
She looks impressive
When she is dancing her little home dance on me

Where do the dreams of babies go
'Cause you know they're all so good
And they're also gone so fast

Keep all your guns at home
Help keep your momma safe
'Cause you know she's pretty good too

Where is the night so warm and so strange
That no one is afraid of themselves
Pick, pick up, dig, dig out those weeds
Out of your happy-go-lucky fields of such polluted thinking

Where do the rockets find planets
Where do the rockets find planets
Where do the rockets find planets
Where are the dreams of the babies going
'Cause you know they're all going fast
Take, take as much as you can
'Cause you know it's going so fast
You know it's so good.

Where are the many mountains so brave
That they do not explode over everyone
Pick, pick up, dig, dig out those weeds
Out of your happy-go-lucky field
Of such polluted thinking

Where do the rockets find planets
Where do the rockets find planets

Keep your guns at home
Keep your guns at home
Help keep your momma safe
You know she's all good too
She's pretty good

Where are the dreams of babies going

There's a baby
With an itchy head
Pour water on it
I'll take a knife so I can
Take a weight off
Umm
I'm 65
Nobody in my family knows I'm alive
Hey little girl
I would've cut your hair off
Hey little girl
So I can
Pour water on it
So I can take knife
And I will
I'm 99
And I'm in jail
I wish I could have a million kids
A million girls
I would cut their hair off
And I would
Pour water on them
So I can take knife
With that knife
I could pour
Water on them

(Tom Waits)

If you want
Money in your pocket
A top hat on your head
A hot meal on your table
And a blanket on your bed
Come to New York City
And I'm leaving on a train
If you want stay behind, wait until
I come back again
Because all our dreams come true
All our dreams come true
One, two, three, four
Today's grey skies
And tomorrow
And tomorrow
Is tears
The moon is up before me
The moon is shining bright
I want you to remember
As I disappear tonight
Today's grey skies
And tomorrow
And tomorrow

I can hear - voices in the water
Coming up like - smoke brings the wind
I have to take some time - to relocate that house of mine
I think I must lost it in the river
They see things so different
To green eyes they give nothing away
Do you think now at last
You can tell me
No you won't - give away
Crush snow on my face
Feels like burning
And birds blackface singing in the tree
If I got myself a gun
Then I could shoot down everyone
Maybe I've just invented some religion
I saw father dancing with his daughter
And the music singing softly on the breeze
I can't see an end - salvation anywhere
Think I'll wait here if he comes he comes down the river
Think I'll wait here if he comes he comes down the river
I've heard all this before
Already I know

Oh, Mr Gallo, what a good friend
He's always been a name (?)
Oh, Mr Gallo, what a good friend
Closer I've ever had
Oh, Chan, what a woman you've become
Can't say I'd ever thought that he'd look you in the eyes
Oh, and what a lover you've become
Can't say that I always thought you were a liar
Oh, you say
What a laugh you had
I cannot say I ever thought I would have had anything funny
Oh, and what a charmer you've become Mr Gallo

[No lyrics]

I am like powder
I am like relaxation
I am the snow
I am the snow
I am the snow

I dig in this ocean
And I try to fill it with gold
Fill it to the top
Fill it to the top
Fill it to the top
Do you look for hope in other people's eyes?
Well that may be your worst redemption
Do you feed and clothe yourself?
Well that may be your best defense

I am from the moon
I am from the moon
I am from the moon
So they say
So they say
Facing, confronting, branding each other
We were made through one another

Great expectations
Great expectations
So they say
So they say
So they say
I am the snow
I am the snow

Last thing I remember
Last thing I remember
Last thing I remember
Somebody was laughing in my ear
Last thing I remember
The sun was coming up
Last thing I remember
Last thing I remember
Hey the headlights are getting too
Close to me
Hey the headlights are cutting me
I can see
Somewhere above me
I can see
My friend weeping
My friend singing over me
Lifting her arms up to the sky
Lifting her arms up to the sky
....
Somewhere above me
I can hear
Like birds singing
Or are they weeping

Get up around eight
Get up around eight
Get up around eight
Get up around eight
Let's make some coffee
And get real stoned
Hey let's play a record or two
A record or two
A record or two
A record or two
Hey the headlights are getting too
Close to me
Hey the headlights are cutting me
And I can see i'm alone
It's cold as hell
It's cold as hell
It's cold as hell
It's cold as hell

I am like powder
I am like relaxation
I am the snow
I am the snow
I am the snow

I dig in this ocean
And I try to fill it with gold
Fill it to the top
Fill it to the top
Fill it to the top
Do you look for hope in other people's eyes?
Well that may be your worst redemption
Do you feed and clothe yourself?
Well that may be your best defense

I am from the moon
I am from the moon
I am from the moon
So they say
So they say
Facing, confronting, branding each other
We were made through one another

Great expectations
Great expectations
So they say
So they say
So they say
I am the snow
I am the snow
