Cat

I love cats Like children but I have To stay away For my own sake I know that But I'm no better than A dumb mistake On a black-cat day Shed the fur and then pull me in Vessels bursting under my skin God it hurts, and I'm here for it I can't resist I'm in bed and lying awake Scratching all my skin cells away Little architect of pain Maybe someday I could be a cat person Regal even in the fall Like an acrobatic kitty Catatonically landing Right-side up It's what they do I wish I could be A cat person too Every day I wonder if I made Some grave mistake In a past life, they Hid the sweetest little fruit from me Like a cat stuck up a tree Way too high for me to reach I can only dream that I could be a cat person Regal even in the fall Like an acrobatic kitty Catatonically landing Right-side up It's what they do I wish I could be A cat person too I'll never be a cat person Nothing but a miracle Could alleviate the burning Catching-fire nervous system When we touch It's what we do So I'll never be be The cat person for you Little cat in a dog-eat-dog world Little cat, little soft kitty cat purr Bare arms and a red, red marker Absence makes the heart hurt harder Little cat in a dog-eat-dog world Little cat, little soft kitty cat purr I try to keep my space but Absence makes the heart hurt harder I promise it's not for a lack of trying (I promise I tried to love you) No prescription out there could numb me dry I promise if I could remove my skin And enamor you as a husk I would, so I could I could be a cat person Regal even in the fall (Cat person!) Like an acrobatic kitty Catatonically landing Right-side up (Right-side up) It's what they do (It's what they do) I wish I could be (I wish I could be) A cat person too But I'll never be a cat person Nothing but a miracle Could alleviate the burning Catching-fire nervous system When we touch (When we touch) It's what we do (It's what we do) So I'll never be be (I'll never be) The cat person for you Little cat in a dog-eat-dog world Little cat, little soft kitty cat purr Bare arms and a red, red marker Absence makes the heart hurt harder Little cat in a dog-eat-dog world Little cat, little soft kitty cat purr I try to keep my space but Absence makes the heart hurt harder
