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 looming 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

Okay, check this out...

I watch this dude each night, same table, who creates and crumples up

His eyes are wide from 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, sweats this bird he hardly knows

All that he wants is to see someone he respects without their clothes

So like some hybrid mother/lover she'd soothe and heal his wounds

And kiss them 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

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 ****s get laid

By the faux finest finds, it's been that way, goddamn 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
