( the family cat )



Pour yourself into a drink

It's what you think

I don't have anything to say at all

A funny mess, don't you agree

Just you and me

I don't have anything to do at all

Shall we go out tonight

Will that be alright

Shall we search for our fortune and fame

For oil on peaceful waters

Always stings the same



So just stab me in the back

And call me lover

For nothing now can ever be the same

We'll swap stories of past conquests

We'll tell each other lies

And I'll try so hard to shoulder all the blame

Shall we go out tonight

Will that be alright

Shall we search for our fortune and fame

For oil on peaceful waters

Always stings the same
