Alley Cats

Two people are alley cats

We have an unhappy cat

He is restless, needs attention

Loses patience, seeks affection

Monkey grooms, blossom blooms

Do you dig germs?

The germs

Well, we wear each other's heads like hats

Speak in tongues like alley cats

Cradle them in both our laps

When we lie alone

Wear each other's heads like hats

Speak in tongues like alley cats

Cradle them in both our laps

When we die alone

Well, we sleep inside a blankety bed

Planted like the crocuses

In the song my mother sang

She wanted us to sing

We sleep inside a blankety bed

Planted like the crocuses

And I wish my mother could

See the ring I bought

Ooh, there is a pain I know

Ooh, there is a pain I know

There's no pain, I know

Ooh, there is a pain I know

There's no pain, I know

There's no pain, I know

There's no pain, I know

The other night, you said you might

Try to kill that thing I love

It is too strong for you

It is encased in glass and stone

The other night, you said you might

Try to kill that thing I love

It is invincible

It is encased in glass and stone

The other night, you said you might

Painted a song

Painted a song

(Try to kill that thing I love)

It started when I was young

(It is too strong for you)

And now it is in my lung

Painted a song

Painted a song

(It is encased in glass and stone)

It started when I was young

And now it is in my lung

Two people are alley cats

I get to thinkin' 'bout our cat

He is restless, needs attention

Loses patience, seeks affection

Monkey grooms, blossom blooms

Do you dig worms?

The worms
