Woe On Me
Beck
[Verse 1] On the old forgotten crossways where the fourteen rivers did meet The bones of our elders were lying in the street On the dark and dusty desert like a ghost I’ve flown I barely cried wherever I’d ride I never found a home [Chorus] Woe on me Somehow I will feel more free To wallow in the empty headed peace Where the plain hearted sorrows never cease [Verse 2] I am just a ramshackle I go from town to town Where there is no shelter I lay down on the ground I’ve killed for no reason I’ve pissed upon a kind Cost them all and burned the bone when I’ve had the time [Chorus] Woe on me Somehow I will feel more free To wallow in the empty headed peace Where the plain hearted sorrows never cease [Verse 3] Well there’s saints and there are animals they’ve taken what they could And it’s written in the pages to do just what they should Well they stood the test and burned the rest and tore them limb from limb Like a fashion with no passion they open up their skin [Chorus] Woe on me Somehow I will feel more free To wallow in the empty headed peace Where the plain hearted sorrows never cease
