The Greatest Songtext
von Cat Power

Once I wanted to be the greatest (greatest, greatest, greatest)
No wind or waterfall could stall me
And then came the rush of the flood
Stars of mine turned deep to dust


Melt me down into big black armor
Leave no trace of grace, just in your honor
Lower me down to culprit sound
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 (greatest, greatest, greatest)
Two fists of solid rock
With brains that could explain any feeling (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


Once I wanted to be the greatest (greatest, greatest, greatest)
No wind or waterfall could stall me
And then came the rush of the flood
Stars at night turned deep to dust
