[Verse 1] It’s 3 a.m The fridge light hums I’m half asleep in crooked socks You’re on the counter like you paid rent Guarding crumbs like tiny rocks Laser Beam the cat With your saucer eyes Tail twitching like a lie detector I turn my back for one split breath My toast is naked Something’s missing [Chorus] Laser Beam the cat Where’s my butter? You look guilty Don’t you stutter (hey!) Mouth all shiny Whiskers slick Tiny thief with a velvet kick Laser Beam the cat Where’s my butter? You just blink Then lick your paws I lose breakfast Lose my mind You just yawn and stretch your claws [Verse 2] Evidence all over your chin Little prints on the kitchen tile You strut past like a fuzzy king Own this place by sheer denial I wave the knife like a silver badge You just flop on yesterday’s mail I file complaints to an empty room You just purr Case set to fail [Chorus] Laser Beam the cat Where’s my butter? You look guilty Don’t you stutter (oh yeah) Mouth all shiny Whiskers slick Tiny thief with a velvet kick Laser Beam the cat Where’s my butter? You just blink Then lick your paws I skip breakfast Skip the fight You just win by breaking laws [Bridge] Alright Alright You win this time Take the butter Take my pride I’ll just eat dry toast and sigh You curl up and sleep beside [Chorus] Laser Beam the cat Where’s my butter? You look innocent You mutter (mrrrow) Heart all melty Brain all gone I forgive before the dawn Laser Beam the cat Keep the butter Guess you own this house and me Every crime and every crumb Paid in rent in your company
