Ruin
Lyrics of Ruin by Cat Power
Intro
I′ve seen gypsies who made it all the way and kept goin'
Kept rollin′ with nowhere to go
Nowhere to go
Verse
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
Bridge
Some little bitty island in the middle of the Pacific
All the way back home, to my town
To my town
Pre-chorus
Bitching, complaining
When some ṗeople who ain′t got shit to eat
Bitching, moaning
So many people, you know what they got
Chorus
What are we doin′?
We're sittin′ on a ruin
What are we doin'?
We′re sittin' on a ruin
Verse
As far as I′ve seen, from the bush
In the wilderness, to every known city
I've been to Saudi Arabia, dug up Calcutta
Soweto, Mozambique, Istanbul, Rio, Rome
Argentina, Chile, Mexico, Taiwan, Great Britain
Belfast, to the desert, Spain, Tokyo
Bridge
Some little bitty island in the middle of the Ṗacific
All the way back home, to my town
To my town
Pre-chorus
Bitching, complaining
When some people who ain't got shit to eat
Bitching, moaning
So many people, you know what they got
Chorus
What are we doin′?
We′re sittin' on a ruin
What are we doin′?
We're sittin′ on a ruin
Chorus
What are we doin'?
We′re sittin' on a ruin
What are we doin'?
We′re sittin′ on a ruin
