Kitty

While you sleep, the kitty-corner neighbor is
Burning up her lot
How do you stay so quietly wrapped up
When she's screaming, "I'll do whatever the fuck I want?"
All of my bad dreams run like errands now
Rang too high a shift tab up and got called out

Or I fly to the wrong city
While you wait on another continent
Hmm-mm, hmm-mm

Minor years occasionally with night terrors
Hypervigilance
Kept me up for drag races at three o'clock
Over the potholes and the trolley tracks
Wouldn't wanna sacrifice my hours like that
But wishing you a sweet dream makes me desperate

And I'm known for latching on
'Til the sour end reveals its forwarding address
Hmm-mm, hmm-mm

I'm top ten, so don't go off my grid again
Waiting around 'til the sour end gives out for good
That's life, I guess
Hmm-mm, hmm-mm, hmm-mm
