All the passionate people
hanging up their shirts
Perfect Pastel Pink
Watch the park board
soak up every inch
Summer in the city
Jump ropers hop in double time
flowers bloom like bombs
Bus driver voices climb
out from the intercom:
“Have a nice one
double check
no one follows you home”
It's a brand new system
We're adopting it with ease
It's a brand new system
I don't really know that much about it
I really don't
But even if I did!
yeah even if I did,
I'd keep it a secret
I'd hold it close 401k
little insurgent paved
in the distant distance
invisible plays
Invisible lines that you didn't draw
all at once
Hang like vines from your gaping jaw
for several months
I watch them sprout
toward my own mouth
and down our wainscoted
hallway
That's the story we tell to each other

you ask me to sing higher
i cant
but i'll try because i respect you
all the children in plastic chairs
the choir rises and glugs my despair
these songs are a list of things i remember
that continue to remember me
my reflection dull in the polished
floor at great clips in 2003
sheared like a sheep
my curly locks in a heap
I don’t bleat when the barber knicks me
that same reflection
with much longer hair
getting choked before the upstairs tv
your face looks so confused
and i’ll admit it, i’m amused
when I land a punch right on to your cheek
then mom rushes in
you're leaning, begging for a win
my face contorts queasy, i don’t make a peep
Reproduced
recreated
Events don't repeat
they just sport different shadings

Who posted up
who took a step
who overthrew
who uuuusurped
who snuck in the window
who chirped in the door
who uncovered the tomb
and made you president of the guest room?
I know I didn’t
Are they gonna watch me undress now?
Are they gonna burn my cities down?
I guess
I'll buy a lakefront property
take my friends and family
beautiful gas masks
for you and me
Don't ask no favors
turn down the lights
I feel all warm tonight
tucked in safe and quietly
Moderate and insincere
I'll live my whole life up here
wake up one day

The motorcade passes quickly and I feel it
The motorcade passes by and I feel it
Don't you go home
My heart is foaming energy in me
I feel it
The boots on their feet
the rhythm of the street
they're marching forward through the sand
I feel it baby in my hands
I feel it down on the street
just to giggle and moan with that beat
Don't you go home
my heart is foaming energy in me
bones freed
I am seeing parts of me
weeping sobbing openly
calculating strategies
for the death of parts of speech
so for who the whom
the who the who the ha ha ha
the ha ha ha ha
the ha ha ha ha

supported by 4 fans who also own “Can You Feel The Stasis?”
Catbath are the type of band that transcend genre preference, like homeboys Husker Du, or Fugazi & At The Drive In: Bands just about all fans of rock music admit they like, saying, "I usually only listen to (insert rock genre), BUT: I make an exception for Catbath." The only place I listen to CD's is in my car, and "Its Bathtime" keeps winning the battle within my collection there.
