Copy Cat
Oh, this is really great, I can see it every day
From my point of view, just like I always knew
The scenery never changes, but I do
My interpretation can be different
Can change it as often as I like ah whoo hoo
I’m your favorite pet, Copy Cat
I’m like a photographer at a wedding party
I can be present, yeah, if you want to hire me
So you can remember everything, the cake cutting and the ‘yes I do’
I’m not a part of the party, like a goldfish in a bowl, ah whoo hoo
I’m your favorite pet, I’m Copy Cat
I disappear in my surroundings, looking out from my own world into yours
Hiding behind my fish-eyed lens, my ultra-wide distorted view
will give an accurate account of all that happened, and all you stood for
There’s no interpretation other than mine
I’m not a part of the party, here to make you feel fine whoo hoo
I’m your favorite pet, I’m Copy Cat
What you see is what you get, I’m Copy Cat
I disappear in my surroundings, looking out from my own world into yours
The way you feel and the way you behave make me wonder:
Are you sincere? Or are your feelings an ornament, to accentuate your behavior?
I’m your favorite pet, I’m Copy Cat
What you see is what you get, I’m Copy Cat, ah whoo hoo
Just as any other Copy Cat, I copy the world, in images, in text, in data – that’s my job
I’m a Copy Cat of the human soul, I can feel what you feel – hello!
“Of the multiple origins of every work, the most important is the least easy to describe”,
as it was written in the runout of a record called Copy Cats by Johnny & Patti
