Maria McKee - Cat In The Wall lyrics

There's a cat in the wall And I listen to him squall In the morning when I'm stretching Hear him choking, hear him retching It's a shame about the noise Because it scares away the boys In the evening when we coo-ing And that p**y starts purring And the neighbours of my mom Taking wages on the phone Saying where'd she ever get the nerve When will she get what she deserves Come let's pray the lightning bolts allow And the neighbours of my mom Taking wages on the phone Must've been a hefty fall Must've built the walls around him And it's a wonder no one's found him But I'll never shoo him out Cause he moves around the house In my arteries he gets Now he's bumping through my brain In my veins, in my mouth Till I scream and cough out loud But he's just a little ghost He's just a shade of what he was Because, because, because, because, because Of the rotten things he does And the neighbours of my mom Still don't know that cat is gone
