The Fate of the Human Carbine - Cat Power

Thinks of money all the time

Doing it to annoy her

She’s on his conscience day and night

So he acts like her employer

They all come and peep through a hole in the wall

Keep the bastards guessing

He likes to take the long way home

It’s another fine decision

From six to seven he’ll be all alone

So he turns on televison

Doesn’t even notice as the hours roll by

Gets lost inside the screen

Watches the film about the evening sky

It was someone else’s dream

All come peep through a hole

Keep the bastards guessing

They all come and peek through a hole in the wall

Just to watch his heart undressing

They all come and peep through a hole in the wall

'Cause you look so impressive
