Kyoto Pond (Vinyl Only) Lyrics by John Vanderslice

Life and Death of an American Fourtracker

2002

[Verse 1]
I sent my cat out to live in the park
At the far end where things get dark
Past die Hagen windmill grove
Tent city and cruiser's cove
I sent my cat out to live in the park
In the west end where things get dark
I pour some food out, I left the bag
Held her close and cut off her name tag

[Verse 2]
I took a girl out to walk in the park
We were down at Kyoto pond
Leaning over to feed the eels
She started screaming, down on her knees
"There's a cat sunk in the pond"
She was turning, I swear, accusing me
I got up and walked away
Never returning to that sad place
