"It's Alright To Fail"
By Jesse Harris
Performed by Cat Power

Out on the corner you look so pale
Your ghost is wandering home
But oh, baby, it's alright to fail

Your tongue is twisted
Your teeth are nails
They drove your voice in your throat
But oh, baby, it's alright to fail

Tell me, don't leave
Tell me, tell me

[Your heart is beating
I hear it pound
If you've got something to say
Oh, baby, please don't let me down

Tell me, don't leave
Tell me, tell me]

The night is coming
I hear the wail of people crying alone
But oh, baby, it's alright to fail
Oh, baby, it's alright to fail
