Yellow Cat (Slash) Red Cat

I watch my yellow cat

Invade my red cat in the yard

The feline war has raged for years

So I assume it'd be too hard

For me to drive my foot between them

I would never risk the scratch

Just to prove to one or both of them

A cat is just a cat

Again I watch my cousin Greg

Watch MTV inside his home

He makes fun of the hip hop videos

From the couch he rides alone

Snug in the cushion of his cackling

He forgets his living doubts

He has relied on this for years

You will not yank the carpet out, no, no

These are my friends

This is who they have been for always

These are my days

This is how they stay, hey, hey

Hey, hey

Ok check this out

I watch this dude

Each night same table

He creates and crumples up

His eyes are wide form sipping endlessly

His endless coffee cup

He feeds me quotes

That lonely goat

I watch him grazing by himself

I will not stop him when he rambles

I'm becoming one myself

Lou is bugged

Shot up with drugs

He sweats this bird he hardly knows

All that he wants is to see someone

He respects without their clothes

So like some hybrid mother slash lover

She'd soothe and heal his wounds

And kiss those dying ears so softly

That the reaper stops to swoon, oh, please

These are my friends

This is who they have been for always

These are my days

This is how they stay, hey, hey

These are my friends

This is who they remain forever

This is how we stay, hey, hey

Hey, hey

Oh, shit

I watch my yellow cat

Hey, hey, I watch my yellow cat

I watch my yellow cat

Hey, hey, I watch my yellow cat

I watch my neighbor's son

Play with his shotgun in the street

I think I'll blaze all day

And marvel at the mass of food I eat

It's strange I'm skinny when I'm standing

But I'm Buddha when I sit

And if I'm truly so enlightened

Why'd I waste your time on it

As I look back at countless crossroads

And the middle where I stay

Right up the beaten path to boredom

Where the fakest fucks get laid

By the faux- finest finds

It's been that way

God damn you how you stay

With every scummy crummy hour

Of the scummy crummy day, hey, hey

These are my friends

This is who they have been for always

These are my days

This is how they stay, hey, hey

These are my friends

This is who they remain forever

This is how we stay, hey, hey

Hey, hey, hey, hey, hey
