Cat Power - Metal Heart lyrics

rate me

Losing the star without a sky

Losing the reasons why

You're losing the calling that you've been faking

And I'm not kidding

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

Oh hidy hidy hidy what cha tryin to prove

By hidy hidy 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

Sand 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 you

How selfish of you to believe in the meaning of all the bad dreaming

Metal heart you're not hiding

Metal heart you're not worth a thing

Metal heart you're not hiding

Metal heart you're not worth a thing

Back of your head

Big monster

Big monster lover

A bigger pusher over

Stands alone in most walks of life

Walks alone in most walks in life

See you looking through me

Like you've unzipped the zipper

You hold the big picture so well

Can't you see that we're going to hell

Couldn't park that fucking car

Couldn't part from you

Saw the back of your sweet mother's head

Now I know that she thinks I am dead

Burnt flavor you hold the big picture so well

Can't you see that we're going to hell

Big monster lover

A bigger pusher over

Stands alone in most walks of life

Walks alone in most walks in life
