lyrics by Sally Tomato
music by Carlos Severe Marcelin

there is a cat with many nipples
her babies died when they were borne
and this cat with many nipples
is very sad and forlorn.

there is a cat with many nipples
her daddy cried when she was borne
and this man has many ripples
he prophesizes and forewarns.

at midnight we hear a howling
it brings a tear to every eye
we can choose to ignore the pain
at least we can if we try.

there is a girl that wants to know
that her parents love her even though
she is not smart and pretty
as how thought she would grow.

there is a little boy who dreams
of growing up into a kind man
he doesn't have the stuff that other men do
that make him strong and masculine.

at midnight we hear a howling
it brings a tear to every eye
we can choose to ignore the pain
at least we can if we try.

where are the heroes to keep the babies warm?
where's the force that realizes the dream?
are they lost in all the confusion?
are they not all that they seem?

can we hope forever after?
can we be more than we are?
is it true that our wish will come true
if we wish on the first star?

at midnight we hear a howling
it brings a tear to every eye
we can choose to ignore the pain
at least we can
at least we can if we try.
