Paper Kitten Nightmare Lyrics
my paper cat
has covered my skin
in chills
my basement home
has made me as cold
as ice
so meow meow echante-moi
meow meow meow miha
meow meow meow
my island home
is gonna be mine
quite soon
your concrete nest
is spewing that filth
again
so walk in, shivering
paws dried up
from wandering
meow meow meow meow
my glass-eyed pet
is purring while blind
i'm blind
that sweet old man
is gonna be your
best friend
so wash your paws
alley cat
once you're dead
you can't come back
meow meow meow meow
meow meow meow meow
has covered my skin
in chills
has made me as cold
as ice
meow meow meow miha
meow meow meow
is gonna be mine
quite soon
is spewing that filth
again
paws dried up
from wandering
is purring while blind
i'm blind
is gonna be your
best friend
alley cat
once you're dead
you can't come back

i think he's saying "my paper cat has covered my skin in chills."
"meow meow ?"
the ? is "echante-moi" i think....an attempt at french maybe, but if it is it's a little off.
omg CUTE meow. :)
I always thought the french was "et chante a moi"
also, this part "my glass-eyed pet is purring while blind i'm blind"
is actually
"my glass-eyed pet is purring 'bout Blonde on Blonde"
from a live version: "this song is called Paper Kitten Nightmare, and it's about how no nightmare can be scary if it has a kitten in it." oh kaaaaaaay richard...
the phrase "paper tiger" means something which seems as threatening as a tiger, but is really harmless. take that as you will i guess...
so meow meow, et chante à moi (and sing to me) meow meow meow, mija (an abbreviation of 'mi hija,' spanish for 'my daughter.' also used as an term of endearment) meow meow meow.
I wish I had a paper kitten...
Instead of, "Your concrete nest Is spewing that filth Again" It definitely sounds more like, "Your concrete mouth"
laughs I almost said "I AGREE!" to whomever said "I wish I had a paper kitten..." But then, I realized that it was me. My my my.
So, I think this song is just a bit of fun. I can't really see it meaning anything...
