The Greatest Lyrics - The Greatest - Cat Power

Once I wanted to be the greatest 

No wind or waterfall could stall me 

And then came the rush of the flood 

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 down 

To 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

5 Totally Underrated Christmas Songs 

Once I wanted to be the greatest 

Two fists of solid rock 

With brains that could explain 

Any feeling 

Lower me down 

Pin me in 

Secure the grounds 

For the lead 

And the dregs of my bed 

I've been sleeping 

For the later parade
