lyrics

my former neighbour's cat
attacks my neighbour's cat
the neighbour's dog attacks my cat
and the dog barks at the mailman

who works for the government
and is afraid of aliens
who are only here to study us
we're unstable and unpredictable

my former neighbour's cat
eats birds in the yard
the birds eat the worms and
the worms eat microorganisms

and they eat phytoplankton
phytoplankton eats sunlight
the sun is made of hydrogen
but the cat is not made of hydrogen

I used to hope that I'd die
and microorganisms eat my body
and the worms eat the microorganisms
and the birds eat the worms

and the cat would eat the birds
and we would be together forever
until our bones turn to dust
or even slowed down light

our neighbour moved away you stayed behind
at first we couldn't look you in the eye
I wish we never had to say goodbye
when you're gone we won't know
what to do with our lives

so just do the best you can
take it one day at a time

enjoy the time you have
because everybody dies
