Yellow Cat (Slash) Red Cat Lyrics

I watched my yellow cat invade my red cat in the yard
the feline war has raged for years
so I assumed 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
(ok check this out)

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
I will not stop him when he rambles;
Im 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 mother/lover shed soothe and heal his wounds and kiss
those dying ears so softly that the reaper stops to swoon. Oh please.
I watch my neighbors son play with his shotgun in the street.
I think Ill blaze all day and marvel at the mass of food I eat.
Its strange; Im skinny when Im standing but Im Buddha when I sit,
and if Im truly so enlightened whyd 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 Its been that way and god damn you,
how you stay, with every scummy, crummy hour of the scummy, crummy day.
