Cat and Mouse Lyrics

CAT AND MOUSEBACK
you knock at my door
meow the whole night
but when I open up for you...
you hide
looking for you I climb each tree in my street
I run and run until I’ve got sore feet
accepting you’re gone
devastated and sore
I’ll lock my door and sit down by the fireplace

but once my bones are finally warm
and my body has regained some strength...
I know you’ll knock again
loud and persistently
I am tired
please let me be
I am tired
you’re no good for me
this dream has been dreamed

I’m a little mouse sitting under your table
living off the leftovers you’re throwing down for me
I pick ’em up and treat each one as a pearl
I collect them and name them and set up a gallery
I suck on the bones of your chicken masala
I Iick on your garbage bin
it’s my treasury
oh... that’s the state you find me in

I am tired
please let me be
I am tired
please don’t throw nothing more down for me
as that’s for sure no good for me
don’t you treat me
don’t you tempt me
this dream has been dreamed
