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 moved 

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 doesnt bring her bassett hound. 



Ask the things you shouldnt miss. 

Tape hits and the modern man, 

Cold war and card catalogs 

To come and join us if they can. 



For girly drinks and parlor games, 

We'll pass around the easy lie 

Of absolutely no regrets. 

And later maybe you could try 

To let your losses dangle off, 

The sharp edge of a century. 

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 

Disappointment. 

Lie down, 

And lick the sorrow from your skin. 

Scratch the terror and begin 

To believe you're strong. 



All you ever want to do 

Is drink and watch tv. 

Frankly that thing 

Doesn't really interest me. 



I swear I'm gonna bite you hard 

And taste your tinny blood. 

If you dont stop the self-defeating 

Lies you've been repeating 

Since the day you brought me home. 



I know you're strong.
