Hot Chip - Alley Cats lyrics

rate me

<br>

Two people are alley cats<br />

We have an unhappy cat<br />

He is restless, needs attention, loses patience, seeks affection<br />

Monkey grooms, blossom blooms<br />

Do you dig germs, The Germs?<br />

<br />

Well we wear each other's heads like hats<br />

Speak in tongues like alley cats<br />

Cradle them in both our laps<br />

When we lie alone<br />

<br />

Wear each others heads like hats<br />

Speak in tongues like alley cats<br />

Cradle them in both our laps<br />

And we die alone<br />

<br />

Well we sleep inside a blanket-y bed<br />

Planted like the crocuses<br />

In the song my mother said<br />

She wanted us to sing<br />

<br />

We sleep inside a blanket-y bed<br />

Planted like the crocuses <br />

And I wish my mother could<br />

See the ring I got<br />

<br />

Oh oh there is no pain I know...<br />

<br />

The other night you said you might try to kill that thing I love<br />

It is too strong for you, it is encased in glass and stone<br />

The other night you said you might try to kill that thing I love<br />

It is invincible, it is encased in glass and stone<br />

You painted a song, you painted a song<br />

It started when I was young and now it is in my lung<br />

You painted a song, you painted a song<br />

It started when I was young and now it is in my lung<br />

<br />

Two people are alley cats<br />

We have an unhappy cat<br />

He is restless, needs attention, loses patience, seeks affection<br />

Monkey grooms, blossom blooms<br />

'Do You Dig Worms?' The worms?
