Lyrics: Say Anything. Yellow Cat / Red Cat.

I watch my yellow cat invade my red cat in the yard
The feline war has raged for years so I assume
It?d be to hard for me to drive my foot between them
I would never risk the scratch

Just to prove to one or both of them a cat is just a cat
Again, I watch my cousin Greg watch MTV inside his home
He makes fun of the hip-hop videos from the couch he rides alone
Snug in the cushion of his cackling he forgets his looming doubts

He has relied on this for years, you will not yank the carpet out
Oh, no, these are my friends, this is who they have been for always
These are my days, this is how they stay
This is who they remain forever, this is how we stay

I watch this dude each night, same table, who creates and crumples up
His eyes are wide from sipping endlessly his endless coffee cup
He feeds me quotes, that lonely goat
I watch him grazing by himself I will not stop him when he rambles

I?m becoming one myself
Lou is bugged and shot up with drugs
He sweats this bird he hardly knows
All that he wants is to see someone he respects

Without their clothes so like some hybrid [unverified]
She?d soothe and heal his wounds and kiss
Those dying ears so softly that the reaper stops to swoon
Oh please, I watch my neighbor?s son play with his shotgun in the street

I think I?ll blaze all day and marvel at the mass of food I eat
It?s strange, I?m skinny when I?m standing but I?m Buddha when I sit
And if I?m truly so enlightened why?d I waste your time on it
As I look back at all these crossroads and the middle where I stay

Right up the beaten path to boredom where the fakest fucks get laid
By the faux-finest finds, it?s been that way and goddamn you
How you stay with every scummy
Crummy hour of the scummy, crummy day
