Caring - The Residents
Once there were brothers
Who said that they loved her
Once there were brothers
Who worked at the zoo
Once there were brothers
Who said that they loved her
Once they petted her
Poodle named Pooh
Once there were two
With claws unretracted
A lion reacted
Once there were two
With claws unretracted
A lion reacted
Once there were two
Because she was bothered
Together at the zoo
While feeding her daughter
Because she was bothered
Petting her Pooh
We buried my father
Then there was one
With my mother aching
His brother replaced him
Then there was one
With my mother aching
His brother replaced him
Now there is nothing
Until he was bitten
Until he was bitten
Now there is nothing
Until he was bitten
By an infected kitten
Now there is nothing
So Mother retreated
From a life that repeated
Sound of nothing
And said she was sorry
And more nothing
But the night is so starry
