"Carless Whiskers"
Written by Lola (as told to Gaby's cat)
I feel so unsure
As I scratch at your door
While you're sleeping sound
I must make my rounds
There's no comfort in
The way you fill my tin
Though it's easy to pretend
My hunger has an end
I'm never gonna pounce again
These guilty paws have got no rhythm
Though it's easy to pretend
I know my zoomies well
I'm never gonna meow again
The way I meowed with you before
Time can never mend
The scattered books you tend
To leave upon the floor
My playground to explore
I watch you shop online
For art supplies so fine
While I just sit and stare
And shed on your new chair
I'm never gonna pounce again
These guilty paws have got no rhythm
Though it's easy to pretend
I know my zoomies well
I'm never gonna meow again
The way I meowed with you before
Tonight your credit card will cry
Just like your bank account, there's no hiding
I know you're not a fool
With your art healing tools
But still I need more treats
Should've known better than to purr around
And leave fur on your favorite sweater
So I'm never gonna pounce again
The way I pounced with you before
I'm never gonna pounce again
These guilty paws have got no rhythm
Though it's easy to pretend
I know my zoomies well
I'm never gonna meow again
The way I meowed with you before
Now that you're gone
(Now that you've closed the bathroom door)
Was what I did so wrong?
(I just knocked things off your shelf)
So wrong that you had to leave me alone?
I'm never gonna pounce again
These guilty paws have got no rhythm
Though it's easy to pretend
I know my zoomies well
I'm never gonna meow again
The way I meowed with you before
Carless whiskers
(I don't need a car, I have whiskers)
Carless whiskers
(While you stress-shop for more art)
Carless whiskers
(I'll just nap right here instead)
