The Brazen Youth - No Cat No Cradle Lyrics

You said
You said
Why don't we shut up instead
There's so much left inside my head
My tear ducts they're not punching bags

We speak
We speak
Don't cry an ocean, just a creek
I'm just trying to be realistic
New love will set out to seek

And I'd think
Each week
You'd have an even cleaner cheek
As I caress your fleeting crease
I won't force you to smile

And you pour like a dipper
See you in the night sky
Forming a figure
And I love to
Watch you die

We froze
We stole what we found at the watering hole
We should have left it all alone
It wasn't ours to take home

We screech
We scratch
Microscopic ticks burrow
Into our skins into our skull
What's their evolutionary pull
What's yours
What's mine
We paid our dues and got a fine
I'm eating this down to the rhine
We could retrace for miles

I see your hands on the table
No cat no cradle
And I love you and
I love to lie
