When The Cat Is Away Lyrics by The Teeth (Philadelphia)

2008

[Verse 1}
I got a little colder
When winter came
Shaved off my mustache
And I cursed the remains
And I hid my eyes away from everyone else
When my mother cried out for them
She cried to herself
[Chorus]
Oh, don't worry what those alcoholics said
If it was up to them
Then we'd all be dead
Ah!
[Verse 2]
The Mütter Museum
And the garden of rocks
His love in the graveyard
And her bones in her socks
And oh, how I long to be there
Lost in the woods
Left without warning
No one listening, no one understood
[Chorus]
I was lost and then
I found the way to hope
You could use me to fill your coat
Ayeah!
[Verse 3]
And oh, [?]
Everyone else you left so
Caught in the majesty of love, they were
And Elvis was singing, I think
"In The Ghetto" was on
I was standing in the doorway
With my coat in my arm
[Outro]
And I never loved
And I never loved
Ooh, ooh, ah yeah!
