about

A stately ballad. What happens when you don't hang out with "the old crowd" as often.

lyrics

stray cat comes up to me in the street
asks me, “who took you in?
did they neuter you, have you declawed?
where the hell have you been?”

in this world of pleasures bought and sold
am I growing up or growing old?

stray cat throws back his head with a laugh
says, “old partner in crime,
we’ve been saving a space just for you,
welcome back anytime.”

in this world of red hot and ice cold
am I growing up or growing old?

stray cat rears back and shows me his teeth
and he hisses my name
saying, “you were cool, back in the day
but you’re just not the same”

in this world of gathering moss and mold
am I growing up or growing old?

Dan O'Connell is an old friend and long time collaborator, but before I'd even met "Danimal", he was recording some parody, novelty and good ol' pop songs all on his lonesome. Rubberstamp Records
