The Cat Song

Recycle the same conversation over and over again I just can't stop thinking about why I've got nothing to say Watching the cat begging for food he knows that I can relate Wondering when you're gonna throw a couple scraps my way Never enough to get me through my life Barely enough to get me through the night You twist up my words like a tornado tangles a tumbleweed Spinning around and around and around your intent to deceive An endless nightmare of insecure and selfish schemes Like when I sing you say I'm always slightly off the key You're never gonna let me fly You'll haunt me until the day that I die Recycle the same conversation over and over again I just can't stop thinking about how I'm just wasting away I know you've got a couple tricks up your sleeve But there won't be another eleventh hour reprieve As simple as black and white I'm never gonna be your bride Oh no no no no no Oh no no no no no Hush little baby don't you cry Mama's gonna sing a little lullaby Hush little baby don't say a word Mama's taking off in her thunderbird And mama's gonna hock this diamond ring Mama's gonna get herself a new boyfriend Mama's gonna pick up her guitar and sing And make a million dollars from her pain From her pain From her pain
