The Fate Of The Human Carbine Lyrics
Cat Power
( peter jeffries )
Thinks of money all the time,
Doing it to annoy her,
Shes on his conscience day and night,
So he acts like her employer.
They all come and peep through a hole in the wall,
Keep the bastards guessing.
He likes to take the long way home,
Its another fine decision,
From six to seven hell be all alone,
So he turns on televison,
Doesnt even notices this is the hours roll by,
Its lost inside the screen,
Watches the film about the evening sky,
It was someone elses dream.
All come peep through the wall,
Keep the bastards guessing,
All come and peep through a hole in the wall,
Just to watch his heart undressing,
They all come and peep through a hole in the wall,
Because you look so impressive.
