Me And My Cat

Per Julie's request....Damn - I never noticed how "slangy" this lyric is with all the "aints" and "comins" and whatever. Has anyone had this experience with their lyrics ? How certain characteristics stand out once you read them on paper ? Hmmm.............


ME AND MY CAT

my cat jumps on the windowsill
pokes his head around the blinds
keeps an eye out for the winter chill
gettin' closer all the time

he remembers how you went away
he remembers slamming doors
he remembers what you had to say
how you couldn't take no more

and it all fizzles out that way
withers
wilts
and dies away
and it aint comin back again

but that's not what he thinks

he wanders 'round this empty house
checking all his traps
he keeps an eye out for that certain mouse
the one that proved too fast

and i stand guard at windowsills
and laugh at his distress
its time now for that winter chill
but he don't know that yet

cause it all fizzles out that way
withers
wilts
and dies away
and it aint comin' back again

but that's not what he thinks.
