cats and dogs,
spiders, dolphins, tigers, bears and birds
caterpillars, moths and used-up words
bats and frogs,
crocodiles and swans will stick around
all the useless things that flood the ground
and i'm asking you
'cause you seem to know
just where it goes
when all is said and done
when the war is won
and when your time has come
and all is dark around your door
when all is dark around
and when you still want more
what's the darkness for?
whales and hounds,
lions, eagles, octopus and deer
butterflies and snakes and shapeless fear
pigs and cows,
elephants and flies will live and die
funny how i never wondered why
so i'm asking you
'cause i think you know
just where it goes
and why it hides away
what can you say?
here ends another day
you hold me in your arms
and we slide
down this demented line
there's only so much time
and all the cats and dogs
move on
and all the cats and dogs
move on
without a care at all
no one
will ever care at all
no one
will ever care at all
i wonder as we fall
are we here at all?
