Yellow Cat (slash) Red Cat Lyrics - ...is A Real Boy - Say Anything

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 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 

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 

Im becoming one myself 

Lou 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 clothes 

So 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 please 

These are my friends 

This is who they have been for always 

These are my days 

This is how they stay 

These are my friends 

This is who they'll remain forever 

This is how we stay 

Shit 

I watch my yellow cat 

I watch my yellow cat 

I watch my yellow cat 

I watch my yellow cat 

I watch my neighbors son play 

With his shotgun in the street 

Think Ill blaze all day 

And marvel at the mass of food I eat 

Its strange, Im skinny when Im standing 

But Im Buddha when I sit 

And if Im truly so enlightened 

Whyd 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 its been that way 

Goddamn you, how you stay 

With every scummy crummy hour 

Of the scummy crummy day 

These are my friends 

This is who they have been for always 

These are my days 

This is how they stay 

These are my friends 

This is who they'll remain forever 

This is how we stay
