Jandek Killer Cats In The Carribbean
Killer cats in the Caribbean
Careless cod slithering in the nets
Green blue yellow red
And the rain and the oil slicks
In the watery parts of the street
And the ice breaking as I walk
Really just testing the strength
Of an ice cold frosty morning
Just goin on a long walk
Nothing new
And the crusty cars need shoveling out
Oh mosquitoes on the big leaves
Waiting for you arm to appear
Hungry for your blood
Walking up the mountain in a swarm
I've got to be doing something wrong
But where do I turn to be right?
It doesn't seem anywhere is right for very long
Am I right? Or am I missing something?
Tell me all you got
I still don't think it could be enough
I'm not asking for anything special
I was on my knees screaming
Where could I go from there?
It's only what you do, that's all
Take the pain and the joy
Eat it up for breakfast
It's all there is my friend
If you got a pocket full of something special
It's nothing new to me
