Say Anything - Yellow Cat...Red Cat lyrics

rate me

i watched my yellow cat invade my red cat in the yard

the feline war has raged for years, so i assume it'd be too 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 watched 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

no, no..

these are my friends

this is who they have been for always

these are my days

this is how they stay

hey, hey

hey, hey

i watched 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 know

all that he wants is to see someone he respects without their clothes

so like some hybrid mother slash lover she’d soothe and heal his wounds

and kiss those dying ears so softly that the reaper stops to swoon

oh please!

these are my friends

this is who they have been for always

these are my days

this is how they stay

hey, hey

these are my friends, this is who they'll remain forever

this is how we stay

hey, hey

hey, hey

ahhhhh, shit

i watch my yellow cat, hey hey

i watch my yellow cat

i watch my yellow cat, hey hey

i watch my yellow cat

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 god damn you, how you stay

with every scummy, crummy hour of the scummy, crummy day.

hey hey!

these are my friends

this is who they have been for always

these are my days

this is how they stay

hey, hey

these are my friends, this is who they'll remain forever

this is how we stay

hey, hey

hey, hey, hey

hey, hey..
