Troubled Waters Lyrics
Cat Power
( arthur johnson & sam coslow )
I must be
One of the devils daughters
They look at me with scorn
Ill never hear their horn
Sometimes
Its like being in chains
Sometimes I hang my head
In chains
When people see me
They scandalize my name
Im going down
To the devils daughter
Im gonna drown
In that troubled water
Its coming round my soul
Its way beyond control
I must be one
I must be one
I must be
One of the devils daughters
They look at me with scorn
Ill never hear their horn
Sometimes its like
Being in chains
Sometimes I hang my head
In chains
When people see me
They scandalize my name
Im going down
To the devils daughter
Im gonna drown
In that troubled water
Its coming round my soul
Its way beyond control
I must be one
I must be one
I must be
