So much is on my mind it pains me more than I admit She's yelling at the door clawing on the cushions to bits So much to say but w-w-when you t-t-try to say it F-f-finding a way to get to words to c-convey it I can taste the plomo on my tongue Turning silver as the letters evaporate 'till they're gone Hairballs clogging up the tissue in my lungs And I'm choking through the motions still trapped in a plus ça change Her claws in my throat Her hair in my lungs There's more to be said When I'm deaf, blind, and dumb Screaming and scratching but words aren't dispatching The thoughts overflow 'till the flood makes me numb It's like my brain is beset, hanging on by a thread I've got so much to say but the cat has my tongue She l-l-left a severed head at my doorstep when we first met I couldn't find the words to say the gift was one of regret N-now she brings me c-c-corpses every day of the week But when I try to turn them away my indignation turns meek Slowly getting f-f-further from my point That I'll never get to make because my focus won't anoint All the questions, suggestions In amongst the noise It's a miracle I ever look calm and remotely poised She tugs at my lobes And swipes at my eyes I'm stuck in the rain While she's staring outside Meow! Won't you mind your business? Now! Prowling, how did you get so vicious? Meow! Won't you mind your business? Now! Prowling, how did you get so vicious? How did you get so vicious? Screaming and scratching but words aren't dispatching The thoughts overflow 'till the flood makes me numb It's like my brain is beset, hanging on by a thread I've got so much to say but the cat has my tongue She moves like a car crash in a mercurial way Swerving 'round each syllable, I'd wish she'd go away I've tried too many times to throw her off, lead her astray But every time that my jaw drops, the cat comes out to play Hey! Fuck you, fuck you! Hey! Fuck you, fuck you! I've tried too many times to throw her off, lead her astray But every time that my jaw drops, the cat comes out to play
