Cover of Beck's 'Feather In Your Cap'

lyrics

(Lyrics by Beck Hansen)

Make a move with what you can
Dead waters rise higher than your mind
Disappointment is a feather in your cap,
You want the truth so you can crush it in your hand.

There's no map that can tell you where you are.
You're in between things that only go halfway
Your tangled brain, your tired old refrain...
you'll be singing it in your tired old asylum.

You want the best, you want contests.
My eyes are filled with prizes you've been showing.
Disappointment is a card up your sleeve,
place your bets at the door before you leave.
