you settle like stardust, in the darkness darling 
don't worry where the car is parked, we'll grab it in the morning 
the tell tale tequila tears in a taxi cab 
i talked with my friend the television, while you took a nap 
and the moon shed light like skin 
you were lilly-white with lilac lips 
oh catherine, my catherine 
my long-stemmed loneliness, your beck and call 
we were roadside roses, we were record rainfall 
i saw your ghost in Golden Gate Park glowing in the city lights 
while some growing pains never go away, they only keep you up at night 
upon the paisley pillowcase, where your pretty head's been 
did i miss something? was it something i did? 
oh catherine, my catherine
