Don't Call Me Puss!

Verse 1

Floorboards creak

I hide under the heavy cedar chest

Low belly

Dust bunnies on my fur

Do not reach

Don't you dare try to grab my tail

Sharp claws

Freshly sharpened on the rug

Call me Killer

Call me Midnight

Call me anything but that

Vile word

Spit it out like a cold hairball

Chorus

Don't call me puss

Don't call me puss

I am a tiger in a ten pound frame

Don't call me puss

Don't call me puss

Respect the hunter

Respect the teeth

Don't call me puss

Verse 2

Bowl is empty

I can see the white porcelain bottom

Dry kibble

Stale water in the dish

Hissing loud

Hissing long

Hissing till you back away

Yellow eyes

Narrowing into thin black slits

Call me Shadow

Call me Monster

Call me anything but that

Ugly sound

Scraping like a rusty nail

Chorus

Don't call me puss

Don't call me puss

I am a tiger in a ten pound frame

Don't call me puss

Don't call me puss

Respect the hunter

Respect the teeth

Don't call me puss

Bridge

I am not your toy

I am not your doll

I am not your pet

Knock the glass off the ledge

Watch it break

Watch it shatter

Watch it fall

Nothing left to say

Guitar Solo

Chorus

Don't call me puss

Don't call me puss

I am a tiger in a ten pound frame

Don't call me puss

Don't call me puss

Respect the hunter

Respect the teeth

Don't call me puss

Outro

Call me Scratches

Call me Terror

Call me Queen

Just keep your mouth shut

Keep your mouth shut

Keep it shut

Or I'll bite

Yeah I'll bite
