Calico Songtext
von Semantics

The share house on the east side of town
Everybody wants to come around
It′s the hottest place where you can go
We've got a cat, she′s a calico

There's dirty dishes piling up in the kitchen sink
The television gets so loud, can't hear myself think
Hide in my room just to be alone but
There′s nowhere else I would call my home

My roommate, James, he runs a bar
I only ever see him after dark
Personified as creatures of the night
No, we′re not perfect, but we still get by


Sometimes we struggle just to pay the rent on time
Sometimes the gas-top breaks and fucking won't ignite
The fridge is full of expired, rancid meat
And still there′s nowhere else that I would rather be

(The share house on the east side of town)
(Everybody wants to come around)

And Matt is stuck on the same damn boss fight
I hear the choir repeating the same damn lines
I'll get it this time, I swear, no, I insist
I′ll get a platinum and check it off my list
I'll link the fire by dawn with glassy eyes
Won′t sleep a wink 'til this motherfucker dies
It's just a game, won′t you stop and take a break?
I′ll smoke a joint and I'll hit that couch again
