Metric — Lost Kitten lyrics

Lyrics

Don’t say yes if you can’t say no Victim of a system, say it isn’t so Squatted on the doorstep Swallowed on the blow
Leaving without you, can’t say no Halfway starts with happiness for me Halfway house, lost kitten in a street
Hit me where it hurts I’m coming home to lose
Kitten on the catwalk, high-heeled shoes No more hotheaded Saturdays
They got it, they want it, they give it away Tell me one thing you would never
do I was looking for a hooker when I found you
You’ve got my eyes, you’ve got my eyes You’ll never be mine But you got my eyes
When you lie I cover it up When you hide I cover it up When you cry I cover it up When you come undone I cover it up So open up I was coming onto you
Happy in the night-time, howling at the moon
Sipping on a cocktail, drinking in the loo There’s something about you that I hold on to You’ve got my eyes, you’ve got my eyes You’ll never be mine But you got my eyes
When you lie I cover it up When you hide I cover it up When you cry I cover it up When you blend I cover it up When you lie I cover it up When you hide I cover it up When you cry I cover it up When you come undone I cover it up They got it, they want it, they give it away When you lie I cover it up When you hide I cover it up When you cry I cover it up When you come undone I cover it up
