Ketchup, Minnesota from Feelings Parade! by Therapywolf

The cats in Minnesota in the Wendy's parking lot
Will warm their frozen bodies on the hoods of the cars
And feed on the mice
That feed on the empty ketchup packs
That feed the kids who don't bring lunch from home

Mom gave me money, but I spent it at the drugstore
On bubble gum and candy bars and Lik-M-Aid and Zots
After school watch TV, eat ketchup from the bottle
TV dinners later when Mom's home from work

I'm sorry 'bout the bicycle, I'm sorry 'bout the blood
Mom please don't worry, I'm young, I can heal
Smoke another cigarette, pour a glass of wine
You're doing all you can and we all will be fine

Come with me after school, we'll make snowmen in the parking lot
We'll climb the frozen mountains that the plows left behind
We'll kick the dirty icicles that dangle from the cars
We'll feed kittens ketchup, and warm them in our coats
