Lyrics
Me. Ow
Copyright © 2009 David Baumgarten
[Intro] She gave us Zion, where every dream is fulfilled,
No need to throw stones or take from one another, this life is already built.
[Verse 1] I walked dark streets, a Starving,
shaking orphan cat, alone,,
weaving among the well-fed, my 'me ow' my secret home.
[Chorus] Me. Ow., the cry of the night,
Me. Ow., in the dark I fight.
Me. Ow., a pretty disguise,
Me. Ow., Hiding the tears that fall from my eyes.
[Verse 2] Prancing into the night, to your
trash-filled corner
I stray,
We cried out loud, neighbors scream, "Quiet down, go away!"
[Bridge] I'm a father, thrice I claim,
Wishing to spread this dream, this name.
This bone-crushing, overwhelming love,
Bursting forth, from below, from above.
[Verse 3] In Zion, every dream we've ever had meets the day,
Here in this time, we live, to play.
No more stones to throw, there's no need for theft,
In this life, what's mine? what's left?(what's left?)
[Chorus] Me. Ow., the cry that was fraught,
Me. Ow., in the dark I so fought.
Me. Ow., a pretty disguise,
Me. Ow. Hid the tears that fell from my eyes.
[Outro] Back to the universe, to share, to thrive,
None and nothing was ever mine to drive.
Just this love, this dream, this spectral glow,
Me. Ow., me. ow., the only
Truth... I... know.
ME. OW.
She gave us Zion.
In that
every dream we ever had
is fulfilled.
We needn't throw stones, take from one another.
Isn't it enough this life
It is already done.
I walked dark streets,
a shaking
orphan cat
starving
Weaving amongst the well fed,
withering
with a pretty 'me
ow'
disguising
my own lonely suffering.
Me. Ow.
Me. Ow.
Me. Ow.
Into the night
At all hours prancing 'til I came to your trash-filled corner.
We cried all night, neighbors shouting "come on! Quiet down, get a room somewhere else. We're trying to sleep!"
I'm a father.
I'm a father.
I'm a father.
I wish, to every cat,
to give away
this wholeness, this everything.
This dream. This love. This love. This
bone (bone crushing)
Love.
