Don't Say Nothing

You were the thing, speak of a cat Skinned and left just laying there No other thing was left like that And you said, don't say I said it Said nothing, oh no I went to the party, I was very discouraged I watched the glitter piled like a wall I looked at the river, just couldn't forgive it It was, it was ladened with all kinds of shit, oh Still, I admit that I didn't say nothing I turned my back and walked away Gotta face the fact that I didn't say nothing, oh no Everyone was dancing, I stood over in the corner Listening to how they were saying this and saying that Putting this one down, but nothing was delivered Nothing, nothing good was coming I just, I just stood there I couldn't believe it, but I didn't say nothing I walked the floor, then I looked away Gotta, gotta face the fact that I didn't say nothing How long, how long Will we make do? Well, maybe it's time to break on through Gonna, gonna, gonna straighten up Gonna, gonna get well, I'm gonna do something I'm gonna face the fact, gonna, gonna give it back And I'm gonna do something Won't hold my tongue, won't hold the thought Won't hold the card, well, I'm gonna do something Oh, my brain, and I'm gonna complain You can complain, but I'm gonna do something How long, how long Will we make do? Maybe it's time to break on through Out in the desert, oh, I saw that old cat skinned I saw it floating in the river I saw and no one seemed to mind They sat there, they sat there watching the sun I saw it float away and I watched the buildings crumble Like dust in the hand and we watched the sun Spread its wings and fly away And in the mountains a cry echoes Don't say nothing Don't say nothing Don't say nothing Don't say nothing at all Don't say nothing Don't say nothing Don't say nothing Don't say nothing
