Three-Legged Cat Lyrics

Red House Painters

she was asleep when i hobbled to the bed
with a broken foot bleeding
i clawed at her head
"the mirror tumbled on me", i cried
"but it wasn't my fault", i lied
spend my hole life neurotic and fat
now i'm just a three-legged cat
doctor said, "we'll have to amputate that"
so now i'm just a three-legged cat
a three-legged cat
