Nude As The News Lyrics
Cat Power
I still have a flame gun
For the cute cute cute ones
And I saw your hand
With a loose grip
On a tight ship
I still have a flame gun
For the cute ones
To burn out all your tricks
And I saw your hand
With a loose grip
On a very tight ship
And I know
That in the cold light
Theres a very big man
There¹s a very big man
Leading us into
Temptation
Jackson, jesse, i¹ve got a son in me
Jackson, jesse, i¹ve got a son in me
And hes related to you
Hes related to you
He is waiting to meet you
Hes related to you
Hes related to you
He is dying to meet you
Backhand, role reversal
Where is someone
Backhand, reversable roles
I know theres someone
I still have a flame gun
For the cute ones
To burn out all your tricks
And I saw your hand
With a loose grip
On such a tight ship
And I know that in the cold light
Is a very big man
Leading us into
Temptation
Jackson, jesse, i¹ve got a son in me
Jackson, jesse, i¹ve got the son in me
And hes related to you
Hes related to you
He is waiting to meet you
Hes related to you
Hes related to you
He is dying to meet you
Hes related to you, hes related to you
Hes related to you, hes nude as the news
Nude as the news, nude as the news, nude as the news
All over, all over, all over, all over, all over, all over, all over you
