lyrics

All the stray cats of Tel Aviv
know things I wish they'd purr to me
the ring-tailed, dreadlocked quarter-breeds
sniffing the trash on Masaryk

Tell me the difference between a raven and a crow
rain, sleet, freezing rain and snow
the point where fast first becomes slow
a shaky yes becomes a shaky no

Hebrew, Arabic, Lebanese
the cryptic muttering of the drug casualties
the palm's reply to the promenade's breeze
the mutt to the summons of his fleas

What is the difference between a thick soup and a stew
What is the different between a bad cold and a flu
What is the different between a Muslim and a Jew
Which prays on a rug and which prays in a pew

All the stray cats of Tel Aviv
know things I wish they'd purr to me
I kneel before their mystery
their eyes go wide and then they flee

What is the difference between a raven and a crow
rain, sleet, freezing rain and snow
the point where fast first becomes slow
a shaky yes becomes a solid no
