ALEJANDRO ESCOVEDO
"Shave The Cat"
(Peter Buck / Alejandro Escovedo / Scott McCaughey)

Let's get up
Roll one up
Drink some captain beefheart
From my favorite cup
Oh the sun is a dream
To keep dreaming
Feed the dog
Shave the cat
Have a rock n roll party
On a wrestling mat
Oh the moon is a song
We keep singing
So take me home
Like before
Let's get off, we'll get off
On the thirteenth floor

[Chorus:]
Ride your pony, turn me on
Turn me on
Pretty soon we'll all be gone

It's a trip
It's a scream
Another Monday night hanging from the beam
Oh the sun is the one that ain't showing
Burn the rug
Blast the hits
There's a baritone sax that just won't quit
And the moon is the tune
It keeps blowing
So take me home
But not now
I don't wanna get off
Get off of this cloud

[Chorus:]
Ride your pony, turn me on
Turn me on
Pretty soon we'll all be gone
Dat da da dat da da da da
Turn it up
Break it down
Ride your pony
Like a merry go round
Ride your pony
Turn me on
Pretty soon we'll all be gone
We'll be gone
Dat da da da da
We'll be gone
Turn me on
Oh turn me on
Turn me on
Dat da
