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
