Sleep

the enemy is after me again
afraid of the sea and what's down there
i need to sleep
it's been a whole week

cos tears keep falling into my pool
bright lights driving right into me cold

i need to sleep
it's been a whole week

cos tears keep falling into my pool
bright lights driving right into me cold

my bones keep breaking
tearing me away from the quiet
the silence of my soul
of my soul from the quiet

Sleep

night time, gruelling
just time to waste
heights they kill me
leave scarring on my face

cos' i never, ever
ever fall into sleep ?
and i've never ever
ever felt so weak

cos' tears keep falling into my pool
bright lights driving right into me cold

my bones keep breaking
tearing me away from the quiet
the silence of my soul
of my soul from the quiet

i wanna fall down

Nothing

my angel clipped wings i know
wonders in darkness on grimey ground
in a forest unclean unsound
everything, everything's gone wild
make land for the cows to graze
leaflets scatter around to advertise sell out

a swamp in it hands stretched out
to catch a passing dime
donations to the rich widened
pavements for the poor
somewhere else to lie
but my friend the carriage door
stands slightly ajar
and i know clipped wings make uneasy flight
but we've got to reach

Else

a place where the feast never ends
a moment when the music celebrates
and a time when darkness belongs
to night skies and nothing else
nothing else

tomorrow my spirit seen
fears today my mind
soul aches so deep
always craves my body to reach

Again

you're tearing me apart
crushing me inside
you used to lift me up
now you get me down
if i was to walk away
from you, my love
could i laugh again ?
if i walk away from you
and leave my love
could i laugh again ?
again, again

you're killing me again
am i still in your head ?
you used to light me up
now you shut me down
if i was to walk away
from you my love
could i laugh again ?
if i walk away from you
and leave my love
could i laugh again ?

i'm losing you again
like eating me inside
i used to lift you up
now i get you down

Again

without your love
you're tearing me apart
with you close by
you're crushing me inside
without your love
you're tearing me apart
without your love
i'm dazed in madness
can't lose this sadness
i can't lose this sadness

you're tearing me apart
crushing me inside
without your love
(you used to lift me up)
you're crushing me inside
(now you get me down)
with you close by
i'm dazed in madness
can't lose this sadness
it's riping me apart
it's tearing me apart
i don't know why
it's riping me apart
it's tearing me apart
i don't know why
Without your love
it's tearing me apart

How

how can i tell you
that i love you, i love you
but i can't think
of right words to say
i long to tell you
that i'm always thinking of you
i'm always thinking of you
but my words
just blow away
just blow away
it always ends
up to one thing, honey
and i can't think
of right words to say

Can I

wherever i am girl
i'm always walking with you
i'm always walking with you
but i look and you're not there
who ever i'm with, i'm always
always talking to you
i'm always talking to you
and i'm sad that
you can't hear
sad that you can't hear
it always ends up
to one thing, honey
when i look and you're not there
i need to know you
need to feel my arms around you
feel my arms around you
like a sea around a shore

Cat Power /// *

Tell You

and each night and day
i pray, in hope
that i might find you
in hope that i might
find you, because
heart's can do no more
it always ends up
to one thing honey
still i kneel upon the floor
how can i tell you
that i love you, i love you
but i can't think
of right words to say
i long to tell you
that i'm always thinking of you
i'm always thinking of you
it always ends
up to one thing, honey
and i can't think
of right words to say

One

one day in your life
just sitting around waiting in time
for my glory to arrive

one day in your life
i'm working it out
and i don't give a fuck

if it's wrong or right

and i know right now
never before I know
i know i know just how
and i know right now
glory will come as long
as i recognize its frown
and i know right now
to catch it when it comes

and ride it into the ground
and i know it sounds absurd
when you're kicked to the curb
but it's what you deserve to see
it's what you deserve to see

sometimes in your stride
you take it too far
you’re testing the edge
and you see the rise

Day

sometimes in your mind
you make it seem real
you can't loose hope
that you can't hide

starting a game
back and forth

up and down life slide
you grab and i twist
you pull with your fist
do you know you're right

and i know right now
never before i know
i know i know just how
and i know right now
glory will come as long
as i recognize its frown
and i know right now
to catch it when it comes

and ride it into the ground
and i know it sounds absurd
when you're kicked to the curb
but it's what you deserve to see
it's what you deserve to see

and i said hold on
hold on, hold on, hold on
hold on, hold on, hold on

I Want

i wanna write a book that sings
i wanna ride a horse with wings
i wanna walk on water
i wanna hold my unborn daughter

but these few things could never happen
but i can't help want for them
maybe it's just my nature
time rolls over again

i wanna squeeze a man till he was dead
i want money makers mean what they say
i wanna know the answers to all the questions
i wanna vomit out ill thought like drunken poison

The Impossible

but these few things could never happen
but i can't help want for them
maybe it's just my nature
time rolls over again

i wanna float above the bed when i have sex
i wanna taste the milk of human kindness
i wanna have a penis for a day
i wanna skip round the world and play

but these few things could never happen
but i can't help want for them
maybe it's just my nature
time rolls over
time rolls over time rolls over again

*****

mi corazon sufre y se llena de enojo
solo una vez se nace, una vez se es un hombre
una vez se ama, pues de una vez por siempre
este es mi destino, vivir segun su antojo

si aun por breve tiempo estuvieras a mi lado
envuelto en mi rebozo, suspenso en mi beso
dejando tu cuidado entre flores olvidado
si aun por un momento estuvieras a mi lado

mi corazon sufre porque el tambien se acaba
suspira por la vida y marcha hacia la nada
su dominio es dudoso, su deber peligroso
sus nervios y su voz y su orbita prestados

[floricanto]

De Cara

llorando
de cara a la pared
se apaga la ciudad

llorando
y no hay màs
muero quizas
adonde estàs?

soñando
de cara a la pared
se quema la ciudad

A La Pared

soñando
sin respirar
te quiero amar
te quiero amar

rezando
de cara a la pared
se hunde la ciudad

rezando
santa maria
santa maria
santa maria

El

he venido al desierto
pa'reirme de tu amor
que el desierto es mas tierno
y la espina besa mejor

he venido a este centro
de la nada pa'gritar
que tu nunca mereciste
lo que tanto quise dar

Desierto

he venido yo corriendo
olvidandome de ti
dame un beso pajarillo
note asustes colibri

he venido encendida
al desierto pa quemar
porque el alma prende fuedo

cuando deja de amar

Con Toda

con toda palabra
con toda sonrisa
con toda mirada
con toda caricia

me acerco al agua
bebiendo tu beso
la luz de tu cara
la luz de tu cuerpo

es ruego el quererte
es canto de mudo
mirada de ciego
secreto desnudo

me entrego a tus brazos
con miedo y con calma
y un ruego en la boca
y un ruego en el alma

Palabra

con toda palabra
con toda sonrisa
con toda mirada
con toda caricia

me acerco al fuego
que todo lo quema
la luz de tu cara
la luz de tu cuerpo

es ruego el quererte
es canto de mudo
mirada de ciego
secreto desnudo

me entrego a tus brazos
con miedo y con calma
y un ruego en la boca
y un ruego en el alma

Small

i made a small small song
made a small small song
i sang it all night long
all through
the wind and rain
until the morning came

this song is my small song
this song is my small song
i sang it all night long
and when
the morning came
i had to start all over again
