Ruin lyrics
by Cat Power
[Verse 1]
I've seen gypsies who made it all the way
And kept going, kept rolling with nowhere to go
Nowhere to go
[Chorus]
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, Mejico, Taiwan, Great Britain
Belfast, to the desert, Spain, Wollongong
Some little bitty island in the middle of the Pacific
All the way back home, to my town
To my town
b*tching, complaining and some people ain't got sh*t to eat
b*tching, moaning, so many people you know what they ain't got
[Verse 2]
What are we doing?
We're sitting on a ruin
What are we doing?
We're sitting on a ruin
[Chorus]
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, Mejico, 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
b*tching, complaining and some people ain't got sh*t to eat
b*tching, moaning, so many people you know what they ain't got
[Verse 2]
What are we doing?
We're sitting on a ruin
What are we doing?
We're sitting on a ruin
