Silent Machine Lyrics

Cat Power Silent Machine

Walk off to the woods and the streets every night
walk to the people who walk too close
into eachother they're hanging so bright
i am told as a mother you may remember her

she loves she loves she loves you so hard
but one dirty person to have you can not
the child he is a sinner, tell me teacher to put on your
light and then turn around

in the name of the father but never the ghost
me i need the money for those just as hard
who hung his head for the ladies all pretended he dead

she loves she loves she loves you so hard
but one dirty person to have you can not
the child he 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 buttercup eyes
the silent machine is eating me child
you put on your light and then turn around
you lie you lie you lie
