Yellow Cat (Slash) Red Cat

Lyrics for 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 fucks 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
