This song appears in Season 01, Episode 07 of The Lost Cat Podcast: The Pet Graveyard
Amazingly enough I never once thought of Pet Semetary when I came up with the title. It's just I had to publish that day and I thought the original title 'Me, Myself and Die' was too silly. I hope, one day, to start learning from my mistakes.
When it’s deep in the night, and everybody’s sleeping
there are cats on the prowl, and ghosts in the air.
And i’ll come scratching at your window, come knocking on your door
If I ask now, will you say yes?
Touch up your lips and wear that dress.
And I will show you the town, and show the streets,
and I will show the skin and what’s underneath.
And I will sing you a song, get you back before the dawn
Everybody’s lonely here.
There ain’t nothing left to fear
When the cats away, the mice are gonna play
on a slide trombone in some alley down the way
And if you feel it like you mean it life’s to short for feeling blue
so what you gonna do with all that loving inside of you?
Well in the morning, wake up with him
kiss him on the cheek maybe fix yourself another drink
and remember the night, turn off all the lights
sing that simple melody,
and dance that little dance back on over to me
When the cats away, the mice are gonna play
on a slide trombone in some alley down the way
And if you feel it like you mean it life’s to short for feeling blue
so what you gonna do with all that loving inside of you?
The drinks are spiked with something, the band is really pumping
Old Mad Joe’s got his hands on his shoes.
And everybody’s got one secret thing they want to lose
so what you gonna do?
Everybody’s lonely here.
There ain’t nothing left to fear
When the cats away, the mice are gonna play
on a slide trombone in some alley down the way
And if you feel it like you mean it life’s to short for feeling blue
so what you gonna do with all that loving inside of you?

This is a great adaptation of Arthuriana and a brilliant narrative album. I love how the queerness of the characters is handled as an integral part of the narrative and plot development without it being the end all be all of the characters themselves. my boy Gawain deserved better though maritarvaniti
TTBT has some of my favorite songs written by The Mechs. Iphis is my personal favorite due to its ties with Greek Mythology, but it's definitely an album I have on repeat constantly. yumeinati
