Bernard Snyder - Tied To A String

I feel like I'm waist-deep in this jungle
trapped in a cougar's den,
I'm trying desperately to find an exit
but these two cats got me locked in,
the one to my left is awfully demanding
she likes her 'milk' three times a day
the one behind me is more laid back
she gets fed and goes about her way,
Needless to say, I admire them both
because they're different yet somewhat the same
but I realize I'm runnin' on pure adrenaline
trying to 'burn the candles' at both ends,
so one part of me would like to get out of this jungle
walk away while I still can
but my 'wild side' likes the idea of having
two cats so attached to one string.
