The Greatest Lyrics by Cat Power
Clean Lyric
Paragraph Lyric
Once I wanted to be the greatest
No wind or waterfall could stall me
And then came the rush of the flood
Starts of 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 led
And the dregs of my bed
I've been sleepin'
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 explain
any feeling

Lower me down
Pin me in
Secure the grounds
For the led
And the dregs of my bed
I've been sleepin'
For 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
Stars of night turned deep to dust
Once I wanted to be the greatest   No wind or waterfall could stall me   And then came the rush of the flood   Starts of 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 led   And the dregs of my bed   I've been sleepin'   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 explain   any feeling      Lower me down   Pin me in   Secure the grounds   For the led   And the dregs of my bed   I've been sleepin'   For 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   Stars of night turned deep to dust
