When the rainbows disappeared from the skies of northern Florida
Because the rain had gone away
And I looked out on the front lawn and I saw you there
It was 6:31 AM on a Saturday
And you turned into a housecat
And you all think I'm making this part up
But you are wrong
And the wind came through the window
And it my licked at my face
And I heard the sound of about a thousand housecats
Squalling up from all over the place
And you all think I'm crazy
Or making up some kind of a cheap story
Or telling little stories to amuse myself with
But you are wrong
I am Going to Dade County right now
Because the rain had gone away
And I looked out on the front lawn and I saw you there
It was 6:31 AM on a Saturday
And you turned into a housecat
And you all think I'm making this part up
But you are wrong
And the wind came through the window
And it my licked at my face
And I heard the sound of about a thousand housecats
Squalling up from all over the place
And you all think I'm crazy
Or making up some kind of a cheap story
Or telling little stories to amuse myself with
But you are wrong
I am Going to Dade County right now
