"Ruin" lyrics - CAT POWER
I've seen gypsies who made it all the way
And kept going, kept rolling with nowhere to go
Nowhere to go
As far as I've seen from the bush
In the wilderness, to every known city
I've been to Saudi Arabia, Dhaka, Calcutta
Soweto, Mozambique, Istanbul, Rio, Rome
Argentina, Chile, Mexico, Taiwan, Great Britain
Belfast, to the desert, Spain (Tokyo)
Some little bitty island in the middle of the Pacific
All the way back home, to my town
To my town
Bitching, complaining
When some people who ain't got shit to eat
Bitching, moaning
So many people you know that they ain't got
What are we doing?
We're sitting on a ruin
What are we doing?
We're sitting on a ruin
As far as I've seen, from the bush
The wilderness, to every known city
I've been to Saudi Arabia, Dhaka, Calcutta
Soweto, Mozambique, Istanbul, Rio, Rome
Argentina, Chile, Mexico, Taiwan, Great Britain
Belfast, to the desert, Spain (Tokyo)
Some little bitty island in the middle of the Pacific
All the way back home, to my town
To my town
Bitching, complaining
When some people who ain't got shit to eat
Bitching, moaning
So many people you know that they ain't got
What are we doing?
We're sitting on a ruin
What are we doing?
We're sitting on a ruin
What are we doing?
We're sitting on a ruin
What are we doing?
We're sitting on a ruin
