Ruin - 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

And 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

Some little bitty island in the middle of the Pacific

All the way back home, to my town

To my town

Bitching, complaining from some people who ain’t got shit to eat

Bitching, moaning, so many people you know they 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

And 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

Bitching, complaining that some people ain’t got shit to eat

Bitching, moaning, so many people you know that they got

What are we doing?

We’re sitting on a ruin

What are we doing?

We’re sitting on a ruin
