I got a ticket to the fast city
Where the bells don't really ring
Getting off the plane, the cold air
Rushes like bullets through my brain

And I'm divided
Between penguins and cats
But it's not about what animal you've got
It's about being able to fly
It's about dying nine times
Ahh-ahh, ahh-ahh

Walked on Broadway
Going up to falls
Where the old man I used to know
The paintings on the walls of release
Are colorful but are no Matisse

And I'm divided
Between penguins and cats
But it's not about what animal you've got
It's about being able to fly
It's about dying nine times
Ahh-ahh, ahh-ahh

It's about being able to fly
It's about dying nine times
Ahh-ahh, ahh-ahh

    it's not tags but taigs monkfluence. but i don't think thats where she got it from. i remember as a child people used to ask you if you were a carrot or a potatoe. i think the cat and penguin thing is something along those lines.

    i understand everything, but i still cant quite work out the meaning. perhaps about getting back up again and again and again...
