The Kitten Song
May 20, 1993
Gladiolus hates the world today
Gladiolus hates the world today
Gladiolus hates the world today
glad Gladiolus looks about
she ��s run down over but never ever broken
tries to find heads in the ending she ��s feeling
the life she ��s got only made worth living
sweet shelter at night in the underground
such loud love screaming subways
glad she is now that they ��ve taken her dreams
glad �� Gladiolus hates the world today
�� dreams in silence as no one listens
a gutter of chaos with the roar of streets in her eyes
silence, silence reflected
she ��s back to the dream that was almost not broken
but friendship is strangled, they ��ve broken her dream
she says this to live
it must get better for me
it must get better for me
Gladiolus looks about
to find a spark of life in the moving crowds
here she finds a friends
here a painted kitten
black as underground
kitten in the city streets so young among the children
comfort companion before the dream �� will end
�� will end
Gladiolus hates the world today
Gladiolus hates the world today
Gladiolus hates the world today
Gladiolus looks into the faces every face below the city streets
today she learns to hate
they have taken her kitten they are
hate, hate, hate the world, hate hate
hurting her kitten and oh how she screams
hate, hate, hate the world, hate hate
making laughter with faces in power, anguish they create
hate, hate, hate the world, hate hate
hate, hate, hate the world, hate hate
hate hate
pulling and playing, twisting and breaking
it ��s all a game, pretty creature, just a game
Gladiolus looks them through in pain
no heart beating fast in the fur of her companion
no heart beating here beside her own
Gladiolus hates the world today
hate hate hate the world today
Gladiolus hates the world today
hate hate
hate hate hate the world today
Gladiolus kills her dreams, drives them in her pain to die
lives in flames today
no comfort to be had in these coming endless nights
�� hate hate the world
no chance �� to be alone �� she is broken
�� to know the love of another last companion
glad Gladiolus hates the world today
