Dear Kitty (single mix)

by Jean Koning

/

lyrics

i got up real fast
put on my best dress
guess it's your birthday too

i took a big risk
here on the attick
but i enjoy the view

i don't need much here
some morning glory
and little time with you

i hear of fathers
i hear of mothers
of screaming babies too
i hear they force them
to breathe in hydrogen cyanide fumes

but hear dear kitty
until that bad day
we'll share a moment or two

whatever they want
whatever they do
it won't come 'tween us two

want life to give me
a sense of duty
perhaps some romance too

i got some pictures
they're in my bedroom
they show some altered truth

i hear of strong men
beautiful women
of orphaned children too
i hear they force them
to breathe in hydrogen cyanide fumes

i hear that one day
yes, maybe some day
they want me breathing too

i hear of romas
rebels, jehovas
hear of some priests too
i hear they force them
to breathe in hydrogen cyanide fumes

i hear that one day
yes, maybe some day
they want me breathing too
