I Confess

I confess that I killed the cat

The cat was speckled and fat

He was an angry cat

But I thought he was laughing

I confess that I hit my brother

That I trapped my mother

And I struck my sister

Her nose was bleeding

I confessed to the priest one day

He said, "Undress your soul and go away"

I undressed and what did he say

He started laughing

I recall a big black bird

He flapped his wings, the sound was heard over the town,

When he pounced on me

I wasn't breathing

I did it, I said it

I did it, I said it

I did it, I said it all the time

I did it, I said it

I did it, I said it all the time

I cried a million tears

I've been crying through the years

Too many wines and too many beers

I'm feeling dozy

I know that I'm not the one

I'm a rebel, and a rebel is alone

Wherever you go, you'll find the same

Everybody is breeding

And you reach out, and say that you're mine

Make me much better, and I'm waiting on time

For the time when I feel like you

So optimistic

I confess that I killed the cat

The cat was speckled and fat

He was an angry cat

But I thought he was laughing

I did it, I said it

I did it, I said it

I did it, I said it all the time

I did it, I said it

I did it, I said it

I did it, I said it all the time
