Jacques the Existential Cat

[Verse 1] Jacques the cat Sits on the sill at 3 a.m Stares at the dark Like it’s asking him again Is this the life? Chasing dust and sunbeams round the flat Or is there more Than being just a cat? [Chorus] Oh Jacques Jacques Existential cat Paws on the glass Wondering where you’re at Is it fate Is it chance Is it just a nap? Do you dream of truth Or the next warm lap? Oh Jacques Jacques Tiny philosopher In your fur coat Asking what we’re living for [Verse 2] He blinks once At the red light on the TV Jumps down soft Pads past books and folded sheets Sniffs the shoes Like relics from a foreign land Stops and thinks Who walks who The leash or man? [Chorus] Oh Jacques Jacques Existential cat Paws on the glass Wondering where you’re at Is it fate Is it chance Is it just a nap? Do you dream of truth Or the next warm lap? Oh Jacques Jacques Tiny philosopher In your fur coat Asking what we’re living for [Bridge] He curls by the door When the night feels long Tail flicks time To an old quiet song If every life has nine small starts How many do you spend Just learning your heart? (oh) [Chorus] Oh Jacques Jacques Existential cat Paws on the glass Wondering where you’re at Is it fate Is it chance Is it just a nap? Do you chase the void Like a paper bag? Oh Jacques Jacques Tiny philosopher In your fur coat Asking what we’re living for
