Tails That Tell On Us

Upbeat reggae groove driven by syncopated rhythm guitar, warm basslines, and punchy offbeat piano stabs, Drums lock a laid-back one-drop pattern, complemented by bright horns, subtle percussion, and airy organ swells, The bridge adds call-and-response vocals and a dub-inspired echo effect

[Verse 1] Cat on the counter Eyes say “I’m fine” Tail’s writing curses Across the sky of my blinds Little twitch tantrum At the empty food bowl You purr like a poet But your tail reads my soul [Chorus] Tails that tell on us Every flick Every fuss Too honest to hide what they find Tiny banners of a tangled mind From complaints to quiet sighs Little flags under fur-lined spines Your mouth might play polite But your tail don’t lie [Verse 2] You stare at the window Like the world owes you rent Tap-tap tail drum On the radiator vent Side-eye at the vacuum Slow lash at the rain Whole furry sermon On the state of things again [Chorus] Tails that tell on us Every flick Every fuss Too honest to hide what they find Tiny banners of a tangled mind From complaints to quiet sighs Little flags under fur-lined spines Your mouth might play polite But your tail don’t lie [Bridge] One curl for “maybe” Three thumps for “no” (hey!) Full bottle-brush panic When it’s time to go If I had a shadow That loud and unkind Would my own wild tail Tell the slips of my mind? [Chorus] Tails that tell on us Every flick Every fuss Too honest to hide what they find Tiny banners of a tangled mind From complaints to quiet sighs Little flags under fur-lined spines Your mouth might play polite But your tail don’t lie Your mouth might play polite But your tail don’t lie (oh yeah)
