Molly Is a Metaphor

[Verse 1]
I think Molly Bee's a metaphor
Or perhaps a simile
She's mercy in a fat cat's frame
Like God, she's comforting
"Relax," she purrs--she can tell I'm down--
"Let's both take a nap"
She brushes grace warm against my arm
And crawls in to my lap

[Chorus 1]
Purring is her secret prayer
'Cause she's most concerned for me
I think Molly is a metaphor
Or perhaps a simile

[Verse 2]
There was a country music gal
I'd watch her on TV
I was a little kid in love back then
With pretty Molly Bee
That's how my cat got her last name
My wife never calls her that
Just "Molly," but it seems to be
Way too common for this cat

[Chorus 1]
Purring is her secret prayer
'Cause she's most concerned for me
I think Molly is a metaphor
Or perhaps a simile

[Bridge]
Da da da da
Da da da da

[Verse 3]
And when she's had a busy day
Chasin' bugs and such
And when all she does is cry for food
Is indifferent to my touch
I still love her as I watch
Like God waits here for me
(La da da da da da da)

[Chorus 2]
She'll come back for comfort soon
If I wait here patiently
She seems to know we're here to share
This gentle mystery
(Gentle mystery, this gentle mystery)
That's when I'm Molly's metaphor
Or perhaps a simile
That's when I'm Molly's metaphor
Or perhaps her simile
