Cry Pt. II

I like crying for fun, you know I’ve said it before--I bet you thought I was done
I like crying for fun, yeah, I’ve said it before, I bet you thought I was done
Oooooohh!
And now I’m crying sittin' on the couch: it’s a Saturday night, would you prefer to go out?
TOO BAD, I’m crying on your shirt on the couch: it’s the night before tour, and we’re spending it like this?!
Oooooohh
And I think it's healthy....to reset
In this world of cruelty – do it –
Crying pauses, or it limits,
Callousness, obligations
For the next couple days....
Then back to crying for fun, you know I've said it before, I bet you thought I was done
More of that crying for fun, YUP!, I’ve said it before, I bet you thought I was done
Oooooohh
Cry! Cry! Cryyyyyy! (etc.) ...ing for fun

Lust/Love
03:46

In theory, it doesn’t work so well
But in practice it is hot as hell
Tell me what you want and maybe I can give it to you
You tell me, “Don’t confuse lust with love”
And then after a minute, say, “I love you”
I’ve been on my own for maybe just a minute, it’s true
I don’t recall how to be alone and it’s making me angry that you do
I don’t want to get to know you; that’s when things get messy
I’ve been told I can’t hold it down and you’ll just disappoint me
Tell me what you want and maybe I can give it to you
You’re jealous of dudes on motorbikes
but don’t want to leave the bedroom...
You’ve been through some messed up Hollywood stuff, it’s true
I’ll bring the explosives, leave the unexpected overtures to you
Analyzing portents like what we have is important
Looking back so fondly when all we’ve done is some fondling
Keeping it so casual and calling me your darling
Filling up my voicemail; when you’re drunk, you’re kinda charmin
(I don’t want to get to know you; that’s when things get messy)
I don’t wanna get to know you…
Putting us back on each other’s back burners
Said I was your best: that’s super nice but I prefer some strife ––
is that what I call love? –– We’re...

Ride or Die
04:07
|

|
You’ve got an uncanny way of making me feel like this is the end
It’s always us against the world, it’s always us outside of them
The walls are closing in, the walls are closing in
Worst-case scenario and it feels like we're lusting after it
Ooh...
Well now, you can’t be ‘ride or die’
When only one of you wants to die most of the time
Well, you can’t be ‘ride or die’
When only one of you wants to die…
I’ve got an uncanny way of believing everything I’m told
Tell myself that this is normal, we’ll love each other til we’re old
I want to hold you close, I want to smell your clothes
I want to throw my life down if that’s what it means to devote?????
Ooh....
Well now, you can’t be ‘ride or die’
When only one of you wants to die most of the time
Well, you can’t be ‘ride or die’
When only one of you wants to die, and I choose
Life is long, and I don’t want that to be a bad thing anymore
My life feels wrong and it’s real hard going moving on
It’s hard going moving on.

Creepin'
03:54
|
|||
|
Creeping around, and not very well
If everyone knows, and I feel like they know
Telling myself that we get along
But you’re a black hole, and what I need’s a mom
You are so sweet idolizing my butt
But this ain’t a detour, it’s more like a rut
And we’ve been here before, and we know it’s not fun
Take me under your wing, get me into party things
I don’t much care about, rather rest my voice than shout
About nothing, about nothing, about nothing
mostly nothing mostly nothing, mostly no-thing
Now you say you see just how much you lost
You’re drunk and it’s too late for that kind of talk
I wish so much I could make you okay
We tried it before and we suffered the pain
We can’t be friends if we have no control
We’re so bad together; why don’t we let go?
Getting stuck in this thing, dissipating reasoning
Not to hang, me and you...when we know what that leads to
Probably tusslin’, probably tusslin’, probably tusslin….
Pretty disgusting, pretty disgusting, so disgusting
Ahhhh……………………………………………….
Do you think we should keep doing what we want all the time?
Ahhhh….…………………………………………….

Makes Me Love You More
04:23
|

|
I feel like they don't understand why
I love you like I love you
I feel like they don't understand why
I love you like I love you
And it makes me love you more
And it makes me love you more
And it makes me love you more
And it makes me love you more
And even I don't understand why
I love you like I love you
Feels like you've been in my soul since
Before I ever met you
There's no returning to before
Losing the battle and the war
There's no returning to before
I love you like I fight a war
Ooh...
Ooh...

"Chicago"
03:18

So rude, thinking about it in the car
One kiss and my mind wanders pretty far
Four hundred miles, twenty-four
hours later, thinking about moving my life there
Your face: a breath in the stillness of desire
Who knew somebody else could light my fire?
Pressed against building, hip to hip
I ask if you would like to...kiss?
It doesn't matter what kind of music you're making
What a surprise to find those lips were for the taking-taking!
You walk into a room and set their hearts to ~breaking~
I've got someone at home, but we’re not really dating,
dating, dating, dating, dating, dating, ah!
Ahhhhh
So rude, thinking about it in the car
One kiss and my mind wanders pretty far
Four hundred miles, twenty-four
hours later, thinking about moving my life there

Body

My body is pretty dumb
It doesn’t know what’s up
I take two pills, and I throw up
My body’s really just that dumb
My body is full of snot
I bring it up in case you forgot
Allergies are for the worst nerds
Finally, I got what I deserve!
My life’s easy, but it gets hard sometimes...I don’t know why
Caring for me is hard when I don’t like myself or anybody else
My body is mine alone
I do not care what you don’t condone
I enjoy getting naked anytime I like
I avoid being pregnant because that’s my right
Cuz it’s my fucking body…
Cuz it’s my fucking body!!!!!
My body….. (is pretty dumb)
My body…. (that body’s hers alone)
My body….

Wisteria Boys

The last time I went to a party with you,
You took LSD and left me in that room
of Wisteria Boys, climbing towards...
What are they climbing towards, again?
Again, I let myself get upset
Do I remember when
I was independent
Taking drugs with my friends?
But when I'm with my love...
I just want to be loved
Not looking up above
Hearing him
Telling esteemed guests
He is a genius...ok! ok!
Promising me we'd
Appear, then leave...ok! ok!
The last time I went to a party with you,
You took LSD and left me in that room
of Wisteria Boys, climbing towards...
What are they climbing towards, again?
It's not wrong to have fun but I wanna be someone
Who doesn't worry you'll die in the streets (repeat)
I don't wanna care if you die from bad stuff you got from that chef guy
I don't wanna care if you die in another pointless bar fight
I don't wanna care if you die from cigarettes built up throughout your life
I don't wanna care if you die, I don't wanna care if you die...
I don't wanna care if you die! I don't wanna care if you die!

Mean

I wanna mean...more than you mean to me
They're finding out now...I can be kind of mean
I like to leave...pathways to exits clean
Emotions overwhelm un...til it is time to leave
Know what I mean?
They know I'm mean
I gotta keep...body and conscience clean
I wash before I sleep...get this world off of me
Let me believe...in pure identity
Don't wanna present as...anything in between
And now we get up to the part where my dreams are embarrassing
I've broken some hearts, but that's nothing in the greater scheme
I've played the part of someone who needs nobody
But that's not even true for my art
That's not even true for my art

Catbath are the type of band that transcend genre preference, like homeboys Husker Du, or Fugazi & At The Drive In: Bands just about all fans of rock music admit they like, saying, "I usually only listen to (insert rock genre), BUT: I make an exception for Catbath." The only place I listen to CD's is in my car, and "Its Bathtime" keeps winning the battle within my collection there.
