lyrics

Bilious the moon
Swollen on our gloom.
Seems prematurely June,
I’ve yet of May to sing.

A year of plague and penury
How long til it’s a memory?
How long is a piece of string
In the court of the Cat King?

‘As long as I say it is,
As long as I say!’

All of us are prey,
We forget along the way,
Lured by the toxic spring
Along the river to the court of the Cat King…

Along the river of oblivion,
Writ on the waters of oblivion,
Every letter from a father to son,
Every lyric of a love unsung.

All of us are prey,
We forget along the way,
All of us are summer rain
on winter clay.

None of us are free, (but my bird, it flies!)
But imagine it to be, (and my bird, it sings!)
How long will your songbird sing
Until it’s caught in the court of the Kingdom of the Cat King?

‘As long as I say it will,
As long as I say!’
