Little Kitty Claw

I lost my lions mane
Washed razors down the drain
Father figure crashed my car
Kicked it down and raised the bar

She shows the signs of love
Tattoo of flying dove
He didn't want to eat my bread
So he split my world in half instead

It used to be so cool
Swimming laps around the pool
Wrap me in a crêpe
Read my mind with painters tape

Cut down to size
But I can't get over her shining eyes
Fresh cut butchers meat
I'll deliver your mail through hail and sleet

Leave the past alone
For her I'll work 'til I'm skin and bone
Little kitty claw
What I put up with to hold your paw

I want to make you feel so good
Burning engine and a sad old hood
Return the favor? I think you should
If only the law said that you could

He watched us from behind
He knew of our design
Frankfurters on the grill
Old man sweeps in for the kill

His pickup truck holds crying child
And concrete details on going wild
Only he prevents forest fires
But maybe to burn is the trees desire

I want my old life back
Rob my bank and sell me crack
If only we could escape
Read my mind with painters tape

Cut down to size
But I can't get over her shining eyes
Fresh cut butchers meat
I'll deliver your mail through hail and sleet

Leave the past alone
For her I'll work 'til I'm skin and bone
Little kitty claw
What I put up with to hold your paw

I want to make you feel so good
Burning engine and a sad old hood
Return the favor? I think you should
If only the law said that you could

I can't believe you think that I
Could love and embrace through your careful eye
She shoots me to the panda land
And then you drown me in paper sand
You hold me back from what I need
Do you want to kill or just impede?
I can't get through to the smiling core
I get so little when I really need more

I lost my lions mane
Washed razors down the drain
