Weakerthans, The - Plea From A Cat Named Virtue lyrics

why don´t you ever wanna play?
I am tired of this piece of string.
you sleep as much as i do now
and you do not eat much of anything
I do not know who you are talking to,
I made a search through every room
but all I found was dust that moves
and shadows of the afternoon.

And listen, about those bitter songs you sing,
They are not helping anything.
They won´t make you strong.

So we should open up the house,
invite the tabby two doors down,
you could ask your sister if
she does not bring her basset hound.
As for things you shouldn´t miss,
tape his & the modern man,
Cold war & card catalogs,
to come & join us if they can.

For girly drinks & parlor games.
Pass around the easy lie.
of absolutely no regret
and later maybe you could try
to let your losses dangle off
the sharp edge of the century
we could talk about the weather or
how the weather used to be.

And i will cater
with all the birds that i can kill
let their tiny feathers fill
dissapointment
lie down
and lick the sorrow from your skin
scratch the terror & begin
to believe your strong

All you ever want to do is
drink & watch TV
and frankly that thing doesn´t really interest me.
I swear I am going to bite you hard
and taste your tinny blood
if you do not stop the self-defeating lies you have been repeating since the day you brought me home
I know you are strong.
