Plea From A Cat Named Virtue Lyrics

Plea From A Cat Named Virtue lyrics

why don't you ever want to play?

I'm tired of this piece of string.

you sleep as much as i do now

and you don't eat much of anything

I don't know who you're talking to,

I made a search through every room

but all I found was dust that moves

and shadows of the afternoon.



And listen, about those bitter songs you sing,

They're not helping anything.

They won't make you strong.



So we should open up the house,

invite the tabby two doors down,

you could ask your sister if

she doesn't bring her basset hound.

As for things you shouldn't miss,

tape his and the modern man,

Cold war and card catalogs,

to come and join us if they can.



For curly drinks and parlor games.

Pass around the easy life.

of absolutely no regret

and later maybe you could try

to let your losses dangle off

the sharp edge of the century

we could talk about the weather or

how the weather used to be.



and i'll cater

with all the birds that i can kill

let their tiny feathers fill

dissapointment

lie down

and lick the sorrow from your skin

scratch the terror and begin

to believe your strong



All you ever wanna do is

drink and watch TV

and frankly that thing doesn't really interest me.

I swear I'm gonna bite you hard

and taste your titty blood

if you don't stop the self-defeating lies you've been repeating since the day
you brought me home

I know you're

strong.
