Nobody Wants a Stray Cat (Down the Rungs)

An old dog, new tricks
I've got poison spit
Now that I see what you're like
I know not what to be

I've got you pegged
Those things you said
Ever since you came into my life
I know what I should do

I'll take it all and act like its fine

I'm sure you get like this
The sick help the sick
And all the desperate ones
Save the other ones

I don't want a stray cat
I'll break it off and chew what's left
It's about hunger when you're young
And loss when you're old

I'll make it all and act like it ain't mine
