Little black cat by the window sill
You haven’t eaten in a week and you’re getting thin
But you still make that purr-fect sound when I come close to you
And when I touch your face you lift your chin

We don’t know what it is that keeps you starving
But you sneak around your dishes every day
And you almost got killed
In the Tel Aviv streets
Yeah you, you came a long long way

It’s like going shopping for christmas
When you buy all the things you normally wouldn’t buy
Everything is wrapped up in those speacial packings
One brand’s called the angels eat on high

There’s oranges that came by plane from spain
There’S CTM freeze dried in Bombay
And the shopping mall was build
Some miles outs the town
When I was little I thought this was a long long way
When I was little I thought this was a long long way

We have to drill some holes so we can breath still
We have to take some bottles for our piss
And we have to make sure that no one finds us in this box
And we just have to blackout all the risk

‚Cause we don’t know where they might ship us to
Anything would be better than to stay
Even if it takes
A lifetime to escape
Sometimes you have to come a long long way
Yeah sometimes you have to come a long long way

Maybe you have to think of it as seasons
First there’s autumn, then there’s winter then comes spring
Or you have to think of it as TV
One channel they cry on the next they sing

So just wait ‚til your garden starts to bloom
While you’re staring too long at the screen
And if your eyes start hurting
But you see no flowers there
Maybe it just wasn’t as long as it seemed
Yeah, maybe it just wasn’t as long as it seemed
