Cats Are Aliens

Substitute For An Encore

Cats Are Aliens


He's behind the door 
A pretty smile and tempting cure 
I wonder what he does for an encore 
She's burned her candles now 
Screamed without a sound 
A gentle sigh that forced her to the floor 

If she outruns the living 
Then her sins will be forgiving 
She thinks that if it doesn't rain, it bores 
Writes her words on foggy windows 
Wiped away before we see them 
Wiped away before they get her caught 

She's there at the edge now 
Bravely got her head down 
Begun to understand now how it pulls 
He's silenced by the glory 
He's full of sound and fury 
Funny how there's not a sound at all 

They took it all away 
All away 
All away 
And covered for each other till they found escape 
Found escape 
Found escape in their own way 

He's behind the door 
It's all behind him and he's sure 
He's found their substitute for an encore 
Cut into their palms 
Shared a kiss while holding hands 
Taking their first steps over again 

The joy of vicious circles 
Have to see each other smile 
They'll do it if the other does it first 
Holds a hope they'll stay together 
Holds her hand and wonders whether 
Strangers or they'll one day get to meet 

She's there at the edge now 
Bravely got her head down 
Begun to understand now how it pulls 
He's silenced by the glory 
He's full of sound and fury 
Funny how there's not a sound at all 

They took it all away 
All away 
All away 
Oh, how they found escape 
Found escape 
Found escape and they're away 

Oooh... 

It just occurred to me: 
I need a use for sympathy 
It just occurred to me: 
I need a you to set me free 
All the way.
