Sun

Cat Power Sun Lyrics
1.Cherokee

Writer(s):Chan Marshall

Never knew love like this
The wind, moon, the earth, the sky
Sky so high
Never knew pain like this
Everything die, then die
Never knew love like this
The sun, the sea and I
Never knew pain, never knew shame
Now I know why

Bury me, marry me to the sky
Marry, marry me to the sky
Feels like time is on my time
Bury me upside down
Cherokee, kissing me
When I'm, I'm going down
Feels like time is on my time
Bury me upside down
Cherokee, kissing me
When I'm, I'm going down

Never knew love like this
The wind, moon, the earth, the sky
Sky so high
Never knew pain like this
Everything die, then die
Never knew love like this
The sun, the sea and I
Never knew pain, never knew shame
Now I know why

Bury me, marry me to the sky
Marry, marry me to the sky
Feels like time is on my time
Bury me upside down
Cherokee, kissing me
When I'm, I'm going down
Feels like time is on my time
Bury me upside down
Cherokee, kissing me
When I'm, I'm going down
Feels like time is on my time
Bury me upside down, down
Cherokee, kissing me
When I'm, I'm going down.


2.Sun

Writer(s):Chan Marshall

Here comes, here comes, here comes the Sun
It's hot, it's hot, and close to us
Can guess, yes it is, here's the day
We're free with me, we can finally run
If you catch a swing we can save the Sun

You come too close, and all is burning
Here it comes, here it comes, it's still warm
Here it comes, here it comes, we're all so tired of waiting
You said, you said who you are
(You said, you said)
I wanna hear the answer to every question
It's not that I never wanted, I just never knew
If you can, if you could lend you hand
This is the day people like we've been waiting for
O-oh-oh waiting for
O-oh-oh waiting for
O-oh-oh
So tired of waiting
So tired of waiting
O-oh-oh
O-oh-oh
O-oh-oh
O-oh-oh


3.Ruin

Writer(s):Chan Marshall

I've seen gypsies who made it all the way
And kept going, kept rolling with nowhere to go
Nowhere to go.


As far as I've seen from the bush
The wilderness, to every known city
I've been to color cut
So where to? Mozambique, Istanbul, or Rome
Argentina, Chile, Mexico, Taiwan, Great Britain
Belfast, to the desert, Spain
Some little bitty island in the middle of the Pacific
All the way back home, into my town
Into my town
Bitching, complaining from some eople who ain't got shit to do
Bitching, moment, so many people you know they got

What are we doing?
We're sitting on a ruin
What are we doing?
We're sitting on a ruin

As far as I've seen, from the bush
The wilderness, to every known city
I've been to Saudi Arabia, dug up Calcutta
So where to? Mozambique, Istanbul, or Rome
Argentina, Chile, Mexico, Taiwan, Great Britain
Belfast, to the desert, Spain
Some little bitty island in the middle of the acific
All the way back home, to my town
To my town
Bitching, complaining from some people who ain't got shit to eat
Bitching, moment, so many people you know they got

What are we doing?
We're sitting on a ruin
What are we doing?
We're sitting on a ruin

What are we doing?
We're sitting on a ruin
What are we doing?
We're sitting on a ruin


4.3,6,9

Writer(s):Chan Marshall

I feel, I feel tired, awake all night
Head so heavy like a wastebasket
I feel a choke, emotionally broke
Here on my belly in the still of the night
I feel alone

I want out, out on my own
I want everything I own
I find letters, pictures
Memories of what you can't seem to let go
In your bedside table, in your pocket
In your wallet, you know

Abusive, a stranger in bed
Elusive, forget everything you said
You got a right to have that hand on your arm
But the moment you hit it you're on your own
You already took over
Want, now you want to hit the road
Your love is like a steamboat running on a need to float
I don't need 5 times a day
To tell me to go

3, 6, 9, you drink wine
Monkey on your back, you feel just fine

The things you really wanted
Is the thing you want

Aaaaaaaah

Fuck me

9.Silent Machine

Writer(s):Chan Marshall

Walking through woods in the streets every nights
I walked into people who walk too close
Into each other they're hanging so bright
I am told as a mother you may remember her

In the name of the father but never the ghost
Me I need the money for those just as hard
Who hung he said for the ladies I'll pretend That he did

She loves you, she loves you, she loves you so hard
The wonder the person to have you cannot
Charley is a sinner, tell me teacher
To put on your light and then turn around

Ah ah ah!

Silent machine is here to make sure
To put on your light and then turn around
You lie, you lie, you lie...a lie

She loves you, she loves you, she loves you so hard
The wonder the person to have you cannot
Charley is a sinner, tell me teacher
To put on your light and then turn around

If there ever was a religious figure
In my age it don't count to have butter cup house

She loves you, she loves you, she loves you so hard
The wonder the person to have you cannot
Charley is a sinner, tell me teacher
To put on your light and then turn around

Silent machine is here to make sure
To put on your light and then turn around
You lie, you lie, you lie...a lie

Ah ah ah!
