I watch my yellow cat
Invade my red cat in the yard
The feline war has raged for years
So I assume itd be too hardFor 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 catAgain I watch my cousin Greg
Watch MTV inside his home
He makes fun of the hip hop videos
From the couch he rides aloneSnug 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, noThese are my friends
This is who they have been for always
These are my days
This is how they stayOkay, check this outI watch this dude each night, same table
Who creates and crumples up
His eyes are wide from sipping endlessly
His endless coffee cupHe feeds me quotes, that lonely goat
I watch him grazing by himself
I will not stop him when he rambles
Im becoming one myselfLou is bugged and shot up with drugs
He sweats this bird he hardly knows
All that he wants is to see someone he respects
Without their clothesSo like some hybrid mother slash lover
Shed soothe and heal his wounds
Kiss those dying ears so softly
That the reaper stops to swoon
Oh pleaseThese are my friends
This is who they have been for always
These are my days
This is how they stayThese are my friends
This is who they'll remain forever
This is how we stayShit
I watch my yellow cat
I watch my yellow cat
I watch my yellow cat
I watch my yellow catI watch my neighbors son play
With his shotgun in the street
Think Ill blaze all day
And marvel at the mass of food I eatIts strange, Im skinny when Im standing
But Im Buddha when I sit
And if Im truly so enlightened
Whyd I waste your time on itAs I look back at countless crossroads
And the middle where I stay
Right up the beaten path to boredom
Where the fakest fucks get laidBy the faux-finest finds its been that way
Goddamn you, how you stay
With every scummy crummy hour
Of the scummy crummy dayThese are my friends
This is who they have been for always
These are my days
This is how they stayThese are my friends
This is who they'll remain forever
This is how we stay
