Lyrics

( cat power, "what would the community think?" lp )

In this hole we have fixed
We get further and further and further
From what we must do

I saw you asleep beside a hole
Your skull inside the hole
Your eyes blackened by the sound
And the thought of god

Where should I hang my head?
Where would you like me
To hang my head

One absence of truth
The one horrible thing I saw
What you truly wanted to become
And who you thought I was
The fall, the fall
Afraid, the blood
Runs deeper than the grave
Goes all the way down those tracks
Everybody bow your head
For the greatest inspiriation
A complete contradiction
The way

In this hole we have fixed
We get further and further
From what
We must do
I know this, I know this
You know this, you know this

In this hole that we have fixed
We get further and further and further
From what
We must do
I saw you outside that hole
Your skull outside that hole
Your eyes christened by the sound
And the light of god
