A little dose of cute
Helps me start me day
I like to come up with new nicknames
My little pookie wookie boo
Don’t be upset
Can’t wait till Friday night so I can wash my pets
Oh they’re so much fun
Better than TV
Grab a beer and watch them sleep
I wonder what they’re dreaming about
I’m obsessed
When I’m bored at work, I wish I could call my pets
Just me, the dog, the cat, the bird, hamster, & fish
Feeding them in the morning. Feeding them in the evening
Well I love Jingle Bells
Sung with barks and meows
I never fit in with the rock ‘n’ roll crowd
I don’t need any people at all
Except for sex
If I believed in God, I would thank him for my pets
Well I taught my pets
How to shake my hand
See the pictures on my Instagram
I got custom mugs of them all
A complete set
I’m getting my eyes checked, cuz I can’t believe they’re my pets
They’re my pets
It’s my pets

Where did my shitbox go? It used to be right here
I searched everywhere
Whatever your excuse is I don’t care
It’s not funny
But my shitbox is not where it used to be
I think I’m entitled to some things. Why can’t I have my own space
You clean. You move everything. Just leave my crap in one place
Look it’s cool
And I’m not angry
But give me a fucking beach where I can pee
I’m laying on these clean sheets
Don’t judge me cuz I sleep
If I was bigger
I would rip apart your face
That’s not to scare you
I’m just stating the case
Look at me brush by your legs
Take a hint
Where did my shitbox go? It used to be right here
But now it’s somewhere else
I don’t ask for much
But can you leave my stuff untouched
I hate to go on
But my shitbox is not where it belongs
I am an independent cat. I do what I want
I have a lot of busy plans. Where do I put this stuff from my butt?
I have some tissue
That’d I like to unroll
I want to chase that moth
& knock over a bowl
Go to the dog and smell his hole
He’s got grass up his ass
There are a lot of places in this house I’d like to sit
Don’t wanna think about where I’m supposed to shit
Seriously though, why’d you move it?
What the fuck?
I really gotta go.
Guess I’ll go on the floor.

I lived in one other place
Across from the Derby Race
And every breath I take still smells of funnel cake
There were bumper boats
There were pigs, cows, and goats
And with my eye I said bye as we walked through the gate
My one regret is that I never placed a horse bet
Or got to see Exhibition Hall B
Or C
Or even D
Steven opened the door
Of his Honda Accord
The screams of teens faded as we went down the street
The last thing in sight
Was the ferris wheel at night
The beauty & color of such cannot be beat
Everywhere you looked people were having fun. Although sometimes they threw up. And the barker. He looked just like an indian chief. The water was hot but we didn’t know any better.
So step right up
Throw a ball in a cup
And take a pretty fish home
Everything was there at the county fair

We went out for half an hour
I piddled on several flowers
I coulda sniffed a bit longer
But we were yelled at by a jogger
Head straight, tongue out, and keep a strong stride
I was terrified. I got tied up to a stop sign.
Felt like a long time
Went to the park and barked at squirrels
I scared a seven year old girl
I spoke at length with a cute pug
Helped find the bone that she had dug
The open road. Now that’s the life for me
Getting bugs in my hair and greetings from strangers on the street
If only off leash
I went too fast and started to choke
I wore a stupid little coat
We stopped six times to check your phone
I should of stolen that pug’s bone
Then we went home

It’s been nagging at my brain ever since I was a kid
I don’t know who I am cuz my genitals are hid.
You think you could tell by the sound of my voice
But at these decibels, my words sound like squeak toys
I look at the dog and I see his big balls
I wonder if I got a pair, they must be pretty small
Or maybe they aren’t there at all
Which is ok. Just wanna solve this jigsaw
Am I a boy or a girl?
I like lacy frocks
But also macho trucks
Could I be a boy or a girl?
When I look down below
All I see is my toes
A him or a her, nobody is sure
The answer to my gender lies somewhere in my fur
Do you address me as Ms. Or Mister
Or am I just it, a generic hamster
I’ve got to find out. This is no way to live
I could be a butch gal or a guy who’s sensitive
The doctors have checked me and nobody knows
Oh what I would give to have my privates exposed
Am I a boy or a girl?
I don’t know what I got
A penis or not?
Could I be a boy or a girl?
I like pink & blue
I don’t know what to do!

I was so charmed. He was smart, good looking and full of heart.
We slept in a small stagecoach. Entertaining our fans as they approached but
He got stuck on the pipe.
Taken from his home
Thrown down the toilet drain
And I was left alone
I was all alone
We’d watch the lights. Hypothesizing life into the night
Talking of future plans. Talking bout how many kids we’d have but
He got stuck on the pipe.
Taken from his home
Thrown down the toilet drain
And I was left alone
I was all alone
We fought, and I yelled, and one morning he wasn’t there
I thought he bailed but he laid still by the filter air
Tap, tap, here I am
Stop playing around. Let’s start again.
Come on, come on. Please just move
You can’t do this to me. I won’t know what to do.
He promised me we’d swim to the South Seas we’d be
Away from the tanks. Together safe, happy, and free but
He got stuck on the pipe.
Taken from his home
Thrown down the toilet drain
And I was left alone
I was all alone

Hello
Welcome to Pet Meds
We're gonna make you better
You wanna feel better
Hello

We’re gonna make you better
So much better
(MORE GAS!!!)
Hello
I cut off your balls
You never will be horny
You never will feel horny
Goodbye

I’ve heard noises and I’ve seen the rain
But I’m still not afraid of it outside
If I just sneak out of this door,
What fun is in store for me outside
I got as far as the garbage cans
But that’s not the same cat as what’s inside
I felt the breeze and stood next to tall trees
But I have no more need to be outside

I’ve watched you for so long
You get me excited
I think we’d get along
Come on, let’s try it
I will wait until we
Can nuzzle
I wanna feel your body
As you struggle
If I could, I would do it now
Your song calls to me
(Whistle) Drives me so crazy
Some may think I’m nothing but a dreamer
But I wanna drink your blood over dinner
Oh how nice it would be
With you inside me
And everytime I see you, my heart skips a beat
I want so much to be near you but you’re too high for me
I think about you every night
I make a move and someone turns on the light
I’d get into so much trouble
I know it’s not right
But come on birdie, how bout a little bite?
Oh it’d be so good
If I could taste you
It’s not if I should
It’s when do I get to?
They all say
That we can’t be together
It’s ok. One day
I’ll lay in your feathers
If I could, I would do it now

I can’t breathe
It’s hard to see
I feel dizzy
How can this be?
Yesterday
I felt ok
But now today
It’s gone away
I’m goin’ under the weather slowly under the radar
Now I know what dying feels like
My face is white
I don’t feel right
I fear tonight
Will I see the light
There is no doubt
There’s just one route
I shake about
And I pass out
I’m goin’ under the weather slowly under the radar
Now I know what dying feels like
A tiny tap
A gentle slap
A water splash
And I am back
I am not through
I soon come to
If this is true
Then I see you
I’m goin’ under the weather slowly under the radar
Now I know what dying feels like

We only like it when we control the change
And it’s easy to lose track
Pretending that you’re no longer in pain
It’s best not to think back
Cuz I’ll give you more attention, I will say I love you, I will give you a big hug I guess another time.
Memories run on repeat inside myself
And these pictures don’t seem real
Might as well be somebody else
How was I able to feel something
But I’ll give you more attention, I will say I love you, I will give you a big hug I guess another time. In the next life.
There are things you expect everyday
The news and the mail, certain smells and your face
It seems that good times happen all too fast
But when they’re bad, they go so slow
Waiting for those dark moments to pass
Waiting for that glow again
But I’ll give you more attention, I will say I love you, I will give you a big hug I guess another time. In the next life.

My hamster died.
I cried & I cried.
Stalked my ex and found she’s a success
I went to the mall
Where I continued to ball
Outside of the Panda Express
I talked to my mom
She said I’m a bum
And cut me off the family phone plan
I jerked off till it hurt
And stained my new shirt
I’ll never use the vacuum again
Was I supposed to be
At jury duty
I’m buying hot dogs at AM/PM
I’m all out of gin
But I still have bourbon
I think I might be attracted to men

If you’re alone, then I’ll have you
I’ll greet you home as long as you’ll have me
I’ll be there when nobody else will
I don’t care what you look like
I've got it. Just relax. Looks like you’ve had a bad day
Let me lick your face and laugh away.
If you’re alone, then I’ll have you
And when I’m old, I hope you’ll still pet me
If you’re cold, then I’ll warm you
Let’s be friends, from now on forever

I got a window seat. I see the other birds
They can do anything. I can say the words
Why? Why? Do they fly free?
What? What’s so special bout me?
Tonight I’m feeling lonely
My heart’s outside but you still own me
When I had the chance, should I had flown away
I stayed
I see myself in the mirror. Is that me?
I look a lot like everyone else does except less happy
I, I, shouldn’t be so sad
Be content, so content, with what I have
Tonight I’m feeling lonely
My heart’s outside but you still own me
When I had the chance, should I had flown away
I stayed
I would like to go somewhere, somewhere anywhere
Pick a place from a tree. Get up and go there
Who cares?

He’s got to be evil cuz he doesn’t say much
Just look at his eyes and you can get quite a hunch
I saw him peeking from behind a plant
His attachment style is fearful avoidant
He’s Simon the chameleon
He isn’t very much fun
I think he’s rude and uptight
You can’t trust a chameleon
Always changing colors
Just pick one
And yet his views are black & white
It’s not right
He just sits there injecting fear
Crickets come and disappear
Ask him if all the bugs are dead
And he just turns red
We’ve all got songs but he’s got nothing to sing
I’ve seen his tongue and frankly, it’s disgusting
I can’t shake this feeling that he’s just judging me
From every angle and 360 degrees
He’s Simon the chameleon
He isn’t very much fun
I think he’s rude and uptight
You can’t trust a chameleon
Always changing colors
Just pick one
I hear he’s most active at night
It’s not right
This lizard lays day after day
Simon the chameleon, go away

Monday, Tuesday, Everyday goes by
Friday, Sunday, Everyday’s just the same
Another one. Boy that was a big yawn
Interactions & distractions now & then
Watch the fly fly until it dies
Is tomorrow yesterday’s food again
Walking around. Lying down.
In the house. On the couch.
Wednesday, Friday, Everyday I try
Saturday, Thursday, Everyday I’m in the way
Put on a tv show
It feels like someone’s home
Or is it so the neighbor’s don’t complain
I’m starting to think
I like water from the sink
But maybe I just needed a change
Green leaves, Busier streets
Looks brighter. Feels warmer.
Monday, Tuesday, Everyday goes by
Friday, Sunday, Everyday’s just the same
