Lower the thing the skin of a cat
|
Skin it to the left just laying there
|
No other thing is luck like that
|
And you set it said it said nothing
|
|
Went to the party very discouraged
|
I watched the litter pile like a wall
|
I looked at the river just couldn't forgive it
|
It was ladened with all kinds of shit
|
Still I admit that I didn't say nothing
|
I turned my back walked away
|
Got to face the fact that I didn't say nothing
|
|
Everyone was dancing I stood over in the corner
|
I was listening they were saying this and saying that
|
And putting this one down but nothing was delivered
|
Nothing good was coming I just stood there
|
I couldn't believe it but I didn't say nothing
|
I walked the floor then I looked away
|
|
Got to face the fact that I didn't say nothing
|
|
How long how long will we make do
|
Maybe it's time to break on through
|
Gonna lift my skirts gonna straighten up
|
Gonna get well I'm gonna do something
|
Gonna face the fact gonna give it back
|
And I'm gonna do something won't hold my tongue
|
Won't hold the thought won't hold the card
|
Well I'm gonna do something
|
Oh my brain I got to complain
|
You can refrain but I'm gonna do something
|
How long how long will we make do
|
Maybe it's time to break on through
|
|
Out in the desert I saw that old cat skinned
|
I saw it floating in the river
|
I saw and no one seemed to mind
|
They sat there they sat there watching the sun
|
I saw it float away and I watched the buildings crumble
|
Like dust in the hand and we watched the sun
|
Spread its wings and fly away
|
And in the mountains a cry echoes
|
Don't say nothing
|
Don't say nothing no
|
Don't say nothing no
|
