Killer Cats In The Carribbean

Jandek


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
