Speak for Me Lyrics
Cat Power
Be good so were all by ourselves
The great big holidays about to begin
A thousand miles after from where it all begins
Oh world, the whole world is
Going on and on, back in to the touch
Its moving on again
Going on and on
Whats next?
Im out of time
Losing my touch I can feel
Speak for me; youll see the same signs
Do you know how to read between the lines?
All now its all for now, all for one.
What you want?
Big ol south of a liner
Stranded and strange just as innocence gets
Im not leaving out they are trying to forget.
The whole world, the whole world is
Going on and on
Back in to the touch, its moving on again
Going on and on
Whats next?
Im out of time.
Losing my touch I can feel
Speak for me; youll see the same signs
Do you know how to read between the lines?
All now its all for now, all for one.
What you want?
Going on and on
