In This Hole

Cat Power

Here in this hole that we fixed

We get further and further and further

For what

We must do



I saw you asleep beside a hole

Your skull inside a hole

Your eyes blankened by the sound

And the thought of God



Where should I hang my head?

Where would you like for me

To hang my head



One absent truth

The one horrible thing I saw

What you truly wanted to become

And who you thought I was

The fall, the fall,

Afraid, the blood

Runs deeper than the grave

It goes all the way down those tracks

Everybody bow your head

For the greatest inspiration

A complete contradiction

Of ways.



In this hole that we have fixed

We get further and further

For what we must do

I know this, I know this

You know this, you know this



In this hole that we have fixed

We get further and further and further

For what we must do.



I saw you outside that hole

Your skull girl outside that hole

Your eyes glistened by the sound

And the light of God.
