Yellow Cat 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

(Okay check this out)
I watch this dude each night, same table he 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 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/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

(aahhhhhh 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
