about

written by Kat Bula

lyrics

well, i don't fall in love particularly easily, but when you first poked your head out of that cardboard box, Audrey, I knew you and I would always be each other's center of gravity. is it bad that i can't say that to a human being?

you're the softest and the smallest of all of my best friends.

and you're a do-it-yourselfer, just like me: you made your own cat toy from the mouse that used to be my nemesis, destroying my house plants and crapping on all of my things. you wanted congratulations, but instead i just cried, so you dropped the body and rubbed on my ankles and meowed to try to ask why.

oh, if love is just unbalanced energy, then you've cured me of my dangerous sentimentality. when you kill for the sport of playing soccer with a corpse, audrey, it makes art spiegelman want to draw you as a nazi. baby, you'd better lick your paws right clean before you come to bed, 'cuz i can't sleep if i think you'll knead death into my chest.

but i'll hold the covers up for you so you can crawl underneath, and for the rest of your life, audrey, it's gonna be you and me.

you're the softest and the smallest of all of my best friends. you're the softest and the smallest murderer i've met. and i guess without your taste for death, you wouldn't complete me.
