Kitty Songtext
von The O's

Your kitty runs hard almost every day
You can find her at the blues or the
Bottle with a mind almost half erased
Your kitty wants clean but she can′t stay awake
So she needs the pills and the poppers
And the fentanyl to stand up straight

Your kitty wants it free and so do they
Your kitty wants to feel that there's sunshine on the way
Your kitty wants the line that she cannot be replaced
Your kitty wants the keys to the kingdom
But she′s drifting off to outer space


Your kitty wants the warmth of her family and friends
But she finds it hard to connect, almost impossible to make amends
Yeah, she keeps them standing by for when she falls down low
So they'll pick her up from the ground
With her eyes just a little too slow

Oh yeah, she wants revenge on the ones that let her stray
She's picking up the pieces from the bottom of the ashtray
But it′s all gone black and indistinguishable
So she grabs a pipe to forget and she takes another pull
Oh, take a pull, Johnny, go!

On the corner of State and Main
She met a man with a smile and a suit and a golden chain
Yeah, the cover was dirty and the pages are old
And from the smell and the color you
Could tell the price that she was sold


Oh yeah, she wants the grins out of her teeth
She thinks that all the answers lie in the backs of the streets
And when she′s crying out, no, she's not in pain
Yeah, she′s waiting for the nickels and
The dimes and another hour to relate
No, you can't relate
