Cat Power - Walls lyrics

[Verse 1] Some days we get a thrill in our brains Some days it turns into malaise You see your face in the veneer Reflected on the surface of fear Because you know we're better than that But some days we're worse than you can imagine And how am I supposed to live with that With all these train wrecks coming at random [Chorus] Hey what are you going to do When those walls are falling down Falling down on you [x2] [Verse 2] You got warheads stacked in the kitchen You treat distraction like it's a religion With a rattlesnake step in your rhythm We do the best with the souls we've been given Because you know we're nothing special to them We're going some place they've already been Trying to make sense of what they call wisdom And this riffraff ain't laughing with them [Chorus] You're wearing all of the years on your face You have a tombstone you mourn in the place And your heart only speaks in a murmur But your words ringin' out just like murder
