  • Losing the star without a sky
    Losing the reasons why
    You're losing the calling that you've been faking
    And I'm not kidding

    It's damned if you don't
    And it's damned if you do
    Be true 'cause they'll lock you up
    In a sad sad zoo
    Oh hidy hidy hidy what cha tryin' to prove
    By hidy hidy hiding you're not worth a thing

    Sew your fortunes on a string
    And hold them up to light
    Blue smoke will take
    A very violent flight
    And you will be changed
    Sand everything
    And you will be in a very sad sad zoo.

    I once was lost but now I'm found was blind
    But now I see you
    How selfish of you to believe
    In the meaning of all the bad dreaming

    Metal heart you're not hiding
    Metal heart you're not worth a thing

    Metal heart you're not hiding
    Metal heart you're not worth a thing Writer/s: Cat Power, Chan Marshall
