Kitty

While you sleep, the kitty-corner neighbor is burning up her lot

How do you stay so quietly wrapped up when she's screaming

"I'll do whatever the fuck I want!"

All of my bad dreams run like errands now

Rang too high a shift tab up and got called out

Or I fly to the wrong city, while you wait on another continent

Minor years occasionally with night terrors

Hypervigilance kept me up for drag races at 3 o'clock

Over the potholes and the trolley tracks

Wouldn't wanna sacrifice my hours like that

But wishing you a sweet dream makes me desperate

And I'm known for latching on till the sour end reveals its forwarding address

I'm top ten, so don't go off my grid again

Waiting around till the sour end gives out for good

That's life, I guess
