Cat Power Lived In Bars Lyrics

Lived In Bars Lyrics

We've lived in bars and danced on tables

Hotel, streets and ships that sail

We swim with sharks

And fly with aeroplanes in the air



Send in the trumpets, the marching wheelchairs

Open the blankets and give them some air

Swords and arches, bones and cement

The light and the dark of the innocent of men



We know your house so very well

And we will wake you once we've walked up all your stairs



There's nothing like living in a bottle

And nothing like ending it all for the world

We're so glad you will come back

Every living lion will lay in your lap



The kid has a homecoming, the champion, the horse

Who's going to play drums, guitar or organ with chorus

As far as we've walked from both ends of the sand

Never have we caught a glimpse of this man



We know your house so very well

And we will bust down your door if you're not there



We've lived in bars and danced on tables

Hotel, streets and ships that sail

We swim with sharks

And fly with aeroplanes out of here

Out of here, out of here, out of here, out of here
