lyrics

If I were to go out on a limb for you darling,
Would you grab your hacksaw
And make it clear just where I stand?
You know I've got some choices of consequence upcoming
So, please state your position before this gets out of hand

I split the baby, for the baby was just too fat
I ain't talkin' bout flesh n’ blood here so...
Don't come after me with your big orange cat

If I gave you a glimpse of my true nature, sweet darling
Would you carve me from the inside out
Once I let down my guard?
For, just like the next man
I have my fair share of shortcomings
And by exposing my defects
You can bring me down hard

I split the baby, oh, it was a baby that just got too fat
I ain't coppin' to no infanticide here
So don't come at me with your big orange cat

The weight of the world keeps on pressin’ and pushin’
And bendin’ and breakin’ my nerve
To gain the whole world but lose the precious soul,
It’s a fate I never intended nor do I deserve

If I build a tinder box for you in the morning
Would you hand me a match
Or tell me I’ve gone too far?

Well, it's not all that crazy
When you think about where we are at
Oh, just a day or two away from being locked within
The jaws of a big orange cat, oh drat!
