Once upon a time

Once I wanted to be the greatest

No wind or waterfall could STALL me

And then came the rush of the flood

The stars at night turned DEEP to dust

Melt me down into big black armour

Leave no trace Of grace Just in your honor

Lower me downTO CULPRIT SOUTH

Make 'EM WASH A SPACE IN TOWN FOR THE LEAD

AND THE DREGS OF MY BED

I'VE BEEN SLEEPING

Lower me down, PIN ME IN

Secure the grounds For the later parade

Once I wanted to be the greatest

TWO FISTS OF SOLID ROCK WITH BRAINS THAT COULD EXPLAINAny feeling

Lower me down, PIN ME IN

Secure the groundsFOR THE LEAD AND THE DREGS OF MY BED

I'VE BEEN SLEEPINGFor the later parade

Once I wanted to be the greatest

No wind or water fall could STALL me

And then came the rush of the flood

The stars at night turned DEEP to dust

[Cat Power, The Greatest]
