Kitty came back home from on the island
But kitty came on home without a name
She and me's a history for violence
So I long, I burn to touch her just the same
So we both can both can speak in tongues
So we both can both can speak in tongues
Every single sense in me is heightened
There's nothing left inside to rearrange
Like a slave to history and science
I long, I burn to touch you just the same
So we both can both can speak in tongues
So we both can both can speak in tongues
Until the universe is done
And the course of time has run
So we both can both can speak in tongues
Don't let them get their way
Don't let them have their way
You're beautiful and so blase
So please don't let them have their way
Don't fall back into the decay
There is no law we must obey
So please don't let them have their way
Don't give in to yesterday
We can build a new tomorrow, today
We can build a new tomorrow, today
We can build a new tomorrow, today
We can build a new tomorrow, today
But kitty came on home without a name
She and me's a history for violence
So I long, I burn to touch her just the same
So we both can both can speak in tongues
So we both can both can speak in tongues
Every single sense in me is heightened
There's nothing left inside to rearrange
Like a slave to history and science
I long, I burn to touch you just the same
So we both can both can speak in tongues
So we both can both can speak in tongues
Until the universe is done
And the course of time has run
So we both can both can speak in tongues
Don't let them get their way
Don't let them have their way
You're beautiful and so blase
So please don't let them have their way
Don't fall back into the decay
There is no law we must obey
So please don't let them have their way
Don't give in to yesterday
We can build a new tomorrow, today
We can build a new tomorrow, today
We can build a new tomorrow, today
We can build a new tomorrow, today

No one mentioned the Lou Reed reference: "Kitty came back home from on the island" is based on "Candy came from out on the island" from Walk on The Wild Side. I don't think there's a deeper reference here, like this Kitty girl is a drag queen or something, but maybe it does bring some dirt and sleaziness to this relationship, Brian likes that, as much he likes referring other great songs in his lyrics.
