the weakerthans - plea from a cat named virtute lyrics

Loading...

[verse 1]
why don’t you ever want to play?
i’m tired of this piece of string
you sleep as much as i do now
and you don’t eat much of anything
i don’t know who you’re talking to
i made a search through every room
but all i found was dust that moved
in shadows of the afternoon

[chorus 1]
and listen, about those bitter songs you sing?
they’re not helping anything
they won’t make you strong

[verse 2]
so, we should open up the house
invite the tabby two doors down
you could ask your sister
if she doesn’t bring her b-sset hound
ask the things you shouldn’t miss:
tape-hiss and the modern man
the cold war and card catalogues
to come and join us if they can

for girly drinks and parlor games
we’ll p-ss around the easy lie
of absolutely no regrets
and later maybe you could try
to let your losses dangle off
the sharp edge of a century
and talk about the weather, or
how the weather used to be

[chorus 2]
and i’ll cater with all the birds that i can k!ll
let their tiny feathers fill disappointment
lie down; l!ck the sorrow from your skin
scratch the terror and begin
to believe you’re strong

[outro]
all you ever want to do is drink and watch tv
and frankly that thing doesn’t really interest me
i swear i’m going to bite you hard
and taste your tinny blood
if you don’t stop the self-defeating lies
you’ve been repeating since the day you brought me home
i know you’re strong
