"Alleycat" lyrics

"Alleycat"

Another red leaf drive
An endless summer
I was quiet, I was alright
Till it pulled me under
It was a photograph
Before we had one another
I was in pieces then
Till you put me back together

So I reach across
Remember my heart
Remember where I came from
Take a hit before I go

"Is this all there is?"
What do you mean?
Is this not enough for you?
"Is this all there is?"

I could climb like a cat
As a kid in summer
No cut, no coin
Only feral wonder
I was wild, I was free, unencumbered
And I carry it round
Till it pulls me under

"Is this all there is?"
What do you mean?
Is this not enough for you?
"Is this all there is?"
"Is this all there is?"
What do you mean?
Is this not enough for you?
"Is this all there is?"

These are our halcyon days, still wonder
Just a vision, just a haze, we'll walk them
These are our halcyon days, still wonder
Just a vision, just a haze, we'll walk them
These are our halcyon days, still wonder
Just a vision, just a haze

I'm still an alley cat
Drink from the tap
Creosote creep through a fence and under
Any window pane
I'm quick and light
I can be no concern
Or I can pull you under

"Is this all there is?"
What do you mean?
Is this not enough for you?
"Is this all there is?"
"Is this all there is?"
What do you mean?
Is this not enough for you?
"Is this all there is?"
