Don`t say nothing lyrics

Artist  : Patti smith 
Song : Don`t say nothing
 

     by Patti Smith

Lower the thing the skin of a cat 
Skin it to the left just laying there 
No other thing is luck like that 
And you set it said it said nothing 

Went to the party very discouraged 
I watched the litter pile like a wall 
I looked at the river just couldn`t forgive it 
It was ladened with all kinds of shit 
Still I admit that I didn`t say nothing 
I turned my back walked away 
Got to face the fact that I didn`t say nothing 

Everyone was dancing I stood over in the corner 
I was listening they were saying this and saying
that 
And putting this one down but nothing was
delivered 
Nothing good was coming I just stood there 
I couldn`t believe it but I didn`t say nothing 
I walked the floor then I looked away 

Got to face the fact that I didn`t say nothing 

How long how long will we make do 
Maybe it`s time to break on through 
Gonna lift my skirts gonna straighten up 
Gonna get well I`m gonna do something 
Gonna face the fact 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 I got to complain 
You can refrain 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 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 no 
Don`t say nothing no
