Petco

Lyrics for Petco

Outside my window I saw two doves Wrapped up in filthy and true love The walls are blushing landlord pink The dishes pile up, my heart sinks It’s become my second nature To wander through the pet store And stare into the sideways gaze of a lizard Doesn’t always make me feel better Just less alone Found the drum machine I traded For a heart shaped duct tape wallet 30 years and I’ve never played it The acid’s leaked— am I too late? I wander through the pet store Asking, “What is my true nature?” Can I take care of anything Or anyone I’m eyeing? Don’t wanna take you home Just because I’m trying To be less alone Less alone Less alone Less alone Less alone
