I once saw a cat sleeping in the grass
but I when I got up close, it was nothin but a ghost
I thought I saw its muscles move
but a fly jumped from its eye to its tooth
Goodbye, goodbye, goodbye cat
I once knew a girl, anxious and young
Her delicate frame would get burnt by the sun
I tried to give her shade but my grip was too strong
I felt her bones snap like the shot from a gun
Goodbye, goodbye, goodbye cat
I spent so much time alone that my brain has gone numb
nothing left to think of, nothing left to be done
I hear the floor creak as I wait for my death
Groaning with every inch of life in my breath
Goodbye, goodbye, goodbye cat
Lord, hear my cry, I'm dying too young
Not in my brain or my heart or my lungs
My soul is a cradle for nurturing war
A war with my mind, destroying my core
