about

This is an original song about a cat (A *SCIENCE CAT*) who is wondering whether he has chosen the right scientist at this particular moment.

lyrics

Sometimes I think my life is crap
Wanna curl up in someone’s lap
I don’t want to be a paradox
When I could sleep all day and poop in a box

CHORUS:
Am I alive or am I dead?
Is this the reason I've been bred?
Either way, it can be said
I'm still here
Forever alive and always dead
If you don’t look it’s on your head
A quantum paradox of dread
And yet, I’m still here

If I were Bucky Fuller’s cat
I’d sleep in a dome and I’d be cool with that
Nicola Tesla would scratch my ears
And not run me through with amperes

CHORUS

Spooky Action at a distance
Does not excuse this poor existence
Isaac Newton was totally wack
But he would still have probably had my back

CHORUS

I'm more than just an adage, more than just a riddle
My life is all a box and this kitty's in the middle
I'm more than just an adage, more than just a riddle
My life is all a box and this kitty's in the middle

Nobel would let me see the light
and I would say that he is dynamite
You say that it’s an exercise
To constantly question my demise

CHORUS

And now that I've been locked inside
I’ve no friend but this cyanide
As I watch atomic decay
I would rather you had me spayed

CHORUS
I'm still here
I'm still here
I'm still here
...or am I?
