She & Her Cat

He said a girl without a care Is like a song without a hook She said "that's pretty unfair" Said "that's pretty fucked up" He said something else But it was all a blur Put her Cheerios off the counter And ran out that store Like a little kid, Suitcase in her hand Packed with polyester She's running away again But only made it, Two doors down the street She and her cat, In their apartment on the Eastside One's afraid of death, One's trying to survive She and her cat, Friends by circumstance Both hate everybody, Both want to belong Dumped out on the street Kicked around like a piece of meat Guess that that's just the story Of someone who can't choose their destiny Lost a couple pounds, Like yarn down a hill Was nearly spread too thin Till she offered some milk, And he came on in She was feeling small, Some jerk touched her at a shop He was feeling sick, Needed someone to finally stop So they cried together She and her cat, In their apartment on the Eastside One's afraid of death, One's trying to survive She and her cat, Friends by circumstance Both hate everybody, Both want to belong
