Will Wood — Tomcat Disposables — lyrics
[Verse 1]
I have mapped the cupboards and drawers
Tracked the least walked spots on the floor
Happy to be home safe and warm
The shadows by their feet
The odd vanishing treat
Quietly eating while they sleep
So here’s where I’ll be raising my kids
If I can find someone to start a family with
‘Till then, I’ll dream of the day my odds and ends fit
I’ll wake up, there’ll be food on the stove
Forever and never want for more
[Chorus 1]
Is thеre cheese in the grеat beyond?
Rinds of parmesan
Wine to water, night from dawn
Life gets short, our teeth grow long
Mind me not and I’ll mind my own and my mind’s
Not one bite smaller or lesser than yours
Do I belong in right and wrong?
Nature, I guess
[Verse 2]
One night, one flung light through this place
So I run for cover, over under, left the rind out on the plate
Little heart racing and praying, “Something keep me safe”
I think it saw my face
Okay, one hungry day is nothing come what may
But then winter came inside for three nights
Left me grinding my teeth between my walls and gripping my dreams tight
Curled up, kept my head up, and put up the fight
I’ll make it through again
I have before
C’mon, now, what’s one more?
[Chorus 1]
Is there cheese in the great beyond?
Rinds of parmesan
Wine to water, night from dawn
Life gets short, our teeth grow long
Mind me not and I’ll mind my own and my mind’s
Not one bite smaller or lesser than yours
Do I belong in right and wrong?
Nature, I guess
[Bridge]
Spring bloomed in the kitchen again
So I crawled out of the wall and squinting
Saw hope on the stovetop
Just like I’d always imagined it
More than I could eat
My dreams were finally reality
My struggles had a happy ending
They must want to be friends
My stomach starts to turn
With thirst, why does it hurt?
My just dessert is served again
[Chorus 2]
So I stumble back to bed
Something’s not quite right
Guess I’ll just go rest my head
Now as I lay me down to sleep
I expect no dreams
And no sweet goodbye to me
Flatline in the morning light
I held on so tight
For so long, it’s just not right
Let a sigh out as I close my eyes
Was that all there was to this?
What’s for the best?
[Chorus 3]
Is there cheese in the great beyond?
What’s the moon made of?
Meet me there after I’m gone
Life gets short, our teeth grow long
Mind me not and I’ll mind my own and my mind
Held the same light as the one in your eyes
Do I belong in right and wrong?
One dies alone and I don’t know
Goodbye, so long
To mice in holes
Nature, I guess
Nature, I guess
Nature, I guess
