I'm still a kid at heart but life been getting hard
The world wants to change me that's why I live in art
I've got a giving heart but it's a hidden part
Behind my skin that guards so that dog don't give a bark
These long days, dog days, used to be a better time
Before the world got swirled into my mental mind
De-energized by the flies on my face
And the sweat of regret that lies on my brain
Older Cats used to lay around and they'd do nothing
As a little kid, riddled with why they were grumpy
Cause summer time was the funnest time, they had a cluttered mind
Rapid heating and cooling will always bring the thunderous whine
And wine gets finer when it's aging through time
But a whiner gets bitter when it stuck on the vine
So why try to block the sun's vitamin D lips
Blocking it's kiss like the light of an eclipse
Long days, dog days, cats with a long face
Used to leap with joy and I jumped at a frog's pace
Now my lilly pad is really sad, feel like it's gone away
But its floating in my soul, my mind in the wrong place
Long days, dog days, cats with a long face
Used to leap with joy and I jumped at a frog's pace
Now my lilly pad is really sad, feel like it's gone away
But its floating in my soul, my mind in the wrong place
Sipping sun tea and Kool-aid on the rocks
Chasing ice cream man all the way down the block
I was slurping on some applesauce, dreaming of a Macintosh
Old folks tired like a cat that likes to nap a lot
But I understand them old cats now
Society's always trying to bring you back down
Working hard for the hunt, but what does a cat chase
A little mouse, a new house that's found in the rat race
My frog pace now turned into a turtle walk
Getting swamped and my brain like an internal bog
Frustrated feeling between freedom and finances
Living on a log trying to leap when a fly dances
Long days, dog days, cats with a long face
Used to leap with joy and I jumped at a frog's pace
Now my lilly pad is really sad, feel like it's gone away
But its floating in my soul, my mind in the wrong place
Long days, dog days, cats with a long face
Used to leap with joy and I jumped at a frog's pace
Now my lilly pad is really sad, feel like it's gone away
But its floating in my soul, my mind in the wrong place
Got a little girl born into a big world
Little hands but she's holding up a big pearl
Yes sir she's a treasure
That makes you feel love that can't be measured
Need to bring out my inner kid again
So I'm not an old cat and her thoughts ain't riddled with
Why do all the grownups not have fun
When the happiest memories are made in the sun
Long days, dog days, cats with a long face
Used to leap with joy and I jumped at a frog's pace
Now my lilly pad is really sad, feel like it's gone away
But its floating in my soul, my mind in the wrong place
Long days, dog days, cats with a long face
Used to leap with joy and I jumped at a frog's pace
Now my lilly pad is really sad, feel like it's gone away
But its floating in my soul, my mind in the wrong place
