Cats in a Bowl Songtext
von Dinosaur Jr.

Scraped along the sidewalk, looking for a face.
Had to get out of my room for a bit,
Tension is in town and I′m ready to quit.

Can't fall out of this hole, it′s just like cats in a bowl.
And I can't climb out of this hole, it's just like cats in a bowl.

See the same old hares running to the same old holes.
Price of licorice has doubled -- teetering, would it finally fall?

Can′t fall out of this hole, it′s just like cats in a bowl.
And I can't climb out of this hole, it′s just like cats in a bowl.

Ever-changing scenery drifting this town.
Even if I leave, someone just like me popped out of the ground.


Loose thoughts go, he slits his hand.
They'll be a problem, well, ride it.
Gathering, giggling, staggering, hoping,
People have been left from last night.

Scraped along the sidewalk, looking for a face.
Had to get out of my room for a bit,
Tension is in town and I′m ready to quit.

Can't pull out of this hole, it′s just like cats in a bowl.
And I can't climb out of this hole, it's just like cats in a bowl.

See the same old hares running to the same old holes.
Price of licorice has doubled -- teetering, would it finally fall?

Can′t climb out of this hole, it′s just like cats in a bowl.
And I can't climb out of this hole, it′s just like cats in a, just like cats in a bowl.

Nowhere to run, every town's the same.
So keep on running along, hope the sidewalk won′t break for me.
