Catbird (alt. lyrics)

in the catbird seat, he drools.
MISTER MUSTARD makes the rules.
hold me close and understand
that i won't try to hold your hand.
nightfall. august. staying late.
i've got time to contemplate
on faking sex and screaming seed.
we don't innovate to breed.

take me. i am obscene.
and i have tried to live this life.

on your skin and in my throat
MISTER MUSHROOM missed the boat.
pins and needles. bruises. sores.
i don't like it anymore.
telling promises and lies.
i didn't come to compromise.
merging minds and clashing wills.
i'll be taking all my pills.

use me. i never bleed.
and i am clean outside and in.

here we linger synchronized
whispering mouths and wandering eyes.
wasting time and sharing genes
in the morning i will leave
so don't hold on to me.

play the game and pay your debt
like MISTER ME, MARIONETTE.
take the cake and keep the dough.
leave your calling card and go.
born to breed at any cost.
packet sent. connection lost.
using you. abusing me
and losing my identity.

believe me. it won't happen again.
'cause when we're done the dance goes on.
