There's a cat in the window, of the house of my lover.Well she sleeps there alone now, or perhaps with another.Oh I try no to think about that, I try not to think at all!

So I go back and forth foreverAll my thoughts they come in pairsOh I will, I won't, I doubt, I don't,I'm not surprised but I never feel quite prepared

And I never thought this life was possible,You're the yellow bird that I've been waiting for.
Conor Oberst Bright Eyes -
I had a brother once, he drowned in a bathtub,before he'd ever learned how to talk.And I don't know what his name wasbut my mother does,I heard her say it once, she said,'Padraic, my prince, I have all but died from the sheer weight of my shame:you cried but no-one came.'
