to capture our gods



to capture our gods
catch them in motion

drawing on walls
living on the threshold
waiting for rain
wishing the rain away
waiting for rain

cats in the corridor
always wanting in
and out again
always wanting in and out

to capture our gods
catch them in motion

banging out sound 
living by owl-light
waiting for sun
wishing the sun away
waiting for sun

cats in the corridor
always wanting in
and out again
always wanting in and out

to capture our gods
catch them in motion

wearing new faces
living by hoax
waiting for moonrise
wishing the moon away
waiting for moonrise

cast in the corridor
always wanting in
and out again
always wanting in and out

cat and bird and me


bird in a cage
cat on the floor
me in my chair
she's out the door

bird in a cage
cat on the floor
me at the window
still feeling sore

cat and bird and me are doing fine (we don't need your company, we're doing just fine)
cat and bird and me are doing fine (we don't need your company, we're doing just fine)
but if \ you've got \ the need \ for me and mine... we've got the time

bird in front of me
cat behind
me at the table
papers all signed

cat in the garden
bird in the sky
me with the car keys
going out to die

cat and bird and me are doing fine (we don't need your company, we're doing just fine)
cat and bird and me are doing fine (we don't need your company, we're doing just fine)

dust off the stereo
turn up the knob
a day like this makes a man glad he doesn't have a job

dust off my daydreams
well what about that?
plan a vacation for a man and a bird and a cat

bird back in his cage
cat on the floor
I'll eat this apple
down to the core

bird in his cage (I think I'll teach him a song)
cat on the floor (I'll take him out for a walk)
me in my chair (yeah, I'm a rocker)
she's out the door (oughta change that lock)

cat and bird and me are doing fine (we don't need your company, we're doing just fine)
