Cat Got Tongue

If you ever need something to say
But the cat got your tongue
Stay cool
Take just a little bit of sage advice
Something that the best live by
One rule
Idle conversation just to grease the wheels
Never hurt one who feels
No roots
Half the time the other side feels the same
Even if they will not claim what they
Eschew
Oh man, don't you see
The sad irony
In you and me
Feeling the same thing?
If you ever need something to wear
(Nothing seems to fit quite right)
On you
Never underestimate the power of
The mind's ability to distort
What's true
I would take a minute to assess the cause
Of a cataracted vision that portends
To abuse
I would never ever even deign to say
That the struggle with troubled mind
Was below me (no-sir-e)
Oh man, don't you see
The sad irony
In you and me
Thinking the same thing?
(I would take a minute)
Oh man, don't you see
The sad irony
In you
Oh man, don't you see
The sad irony
In you and me
(And you and me
and)

Occurred to Me

Suddenly it occurred to me
I had eyes but couldn't see
The forest for the trees
Or smell the roses on the breeze
Gloomy figures come into view
Silhouettes of losing you
What's a boy like me to do
But saddle up and start anew (cuz)
I know that you
Would have nothing to do (with me)
Till I got a clue (yeah)
I got a clue
And now
I know what I have to do
Red sky fills with dust
A raven of eroded trust
Sweeping it beneath the rug
And deeper down the hole I dug
As all the day long
Wind in my wheels
Hoping for some
Thread to reveal
That I was right
And out of the rain
And I could stay the same
I know that you
Would have nothing to do (with me)
Till I got a clue (yeah)
I got a clue
And all in my head
Flower of dread
Big as the sea
(Oh my goodness me)
ba ba dap ba ba bap ba badabadap ba dap ba ba (x4)
And all in my head
Flower of dread
With no business here
With no business here
And all that I see
Clouded by me
But a wind in my vane
Is whispering my name
And now
I know I can't stay the same
